that is exactly what I used to believe and do

but I am wondering if my views are out of date - if publishers have finally realised that kobo has huge market share and thus actually bother to test their font choices before releasing the book
or are they still just fixated on reproducing the print book styling

if you have noticed a decrease in embedded fonts, is that time related i.e. is that in more recent releases compared to older books ? or genre related ?

PS when I look back at my old own tweaked files, I see a lot that I did to overcome obstinate sony e-reader behaviours - probably un necessary for modern kobos
