The author did a wonderful job of making it engaging by having each narrator use a different font.
That's a really old idea that predates ebooks and is BROKEN. The author needs to properly do dialogue with speech or action tags. However if you are converting someone else's work you are stuck with it.

However, if you embed fonts in Calibre, check in the editor etc, before you convert and then convert to azw3, transfer via USB, never "Send to Kindle" service and select Publisher on the Kindle theme it should work. All up to date FW Kindles before PW1 except K1, K2, DX and DXG.
All kindles from PW1 on any FW version.

Basically any kindle with FW for azw3 will work with embedded fonts. Make sure in Calibre Editor that the fonts really are there. The Calibre editor can add them but epub->epub conversion with [ ]Embed Fonts and [ ]Subset fonts is simplest. They may also need to be subset if large.

100% Agree if converting someone else's work you don't change anything, unless it's PD from OCR.
