We are coding our ebooks using Sigil, the custom fonts are open source .ttf files, and the only allowed method to make an ePub3 readable by Kindle readers is to send it through Send-to-kindle using either the standalone software or their new webpage (https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle). Making a direct copy of an ePub3 file via USB in Kindle reader's document folder simply doesn't work, because the reader can't open those files.
