But JSWolf is right, some books are designed around different fonts for different effects, and you should be careful about blowing them away without checking.
I read the book The Martian by Andy Weir. It has some of the worst fonts you can have for eInk. It had Open Serifs, Open Sans, and Open Mono. All very light weight fonts that look really bad on eInk. I deleted Open Serif, changed Open Sans to sans-serif, and changed Open Mono to monotype. That way, the fonts were good for eInk. I used my choice of body font and the system's sans-serif and monotype.
