Not if it's a purchased book!

I'm saying it should be possible to put ebooks together using text figures that can then be overridden by the reader. Yes, that wold mean adding a setting. There aren't very many options on my Kobo, and I don't think it would take a reader who objected to text figures (which are pretty standard in printed books, so I don't honestly know how many readers it would upset) very long to find the setting. I realise it probably won't happen, but I'm just stating my preference.
