Whereas for me, the opposite is true. I use one font for most ebooks since I like a font that does not annoy me when reading which too many <expletive deleted> fonts tend to do when I start noticing the bowl for that b is out of proportion, the ear on that g is way too large, the spur on the G looks more like a slab serif, etc..
I do use monospaced fonts for computer text and specialty fonts where needed such as using the Fāng Zhèng Shū Sòng (FangSong for short) font for Chinese characters in Cixin Liu's
The Three-body Problem series or an Enochian font for the golems' angelic language in Terry Pratchett's books but those uses are few and far between.
