Of course, had this worked it would then bring up the question of how to get users to install the correct fonts on their readers...But whatever, it didn't work.

Yes, I forgot about it... That's due to the microtype LaTeX package. Text lines are slightly expanded or compressed to make the text/whitespace ratio look more uniform, that's achieved by using expanded or compressed versions of the same font. I could disable this feature, but then the typographic quality wouldn't be so good, and the reason for using PDF wouldn't be so strong
But I don't think that should prevent the Sony reader to open the PDF,
this PDF uses the same "trick", and as far as I know opens fine everywhere.
