Jon's suggestion to initially limit my font removal to any embedded body fonts seems like a good idea. For instance, I've attached a screenshot of part of the first page of one of the books in James Islington's "Hierarchy" series. To me, that text is spindly and too light (it's EBGaramond). So, reading it is difficult for no reason. Plus, the lines seem spaced out even though I can't find anything in the CSS/HTML that would cause that (which I've fixed by re-doing all the CSS/HTML).

Any version of Garamond is not going to be good to read on eInk with. That's why I remove the body font. I've not found any eBook with a body font I want to read with. But some of the other embedded fonts, I do keep because I like them or they serve a purpose.
