If a font has more complete OpenType features tables, then you really want them included. They don't add much to the size of the font, but will make the character subset display much better, which is what you want if you are creating books for arbitrary users (i.e., sale or other distribution).
If you are creating books only for yourself, then don't embed fonts with a full set of OpenType features, or remove the features tables from the font before embedding.

The thing is, If all I want is to just display the font and don't care about keeping OpenType features, then I want the old way as I want the font smaller not larger. That's why an option to do it the old way is a good thing to have.
Having to edit the font is not something we should have to do when all we need is a check box to decide which way to subset. Also, finding a different font with no OpenType features is also not something we should need to do when a checkbox is al we need.
