While this is very true I would just like to point out something. The current ereaders with their idiosyncrasies are temporary. Hopefully your ebooks will be around long after the existing ereaders are obsolete. So don't build your ebooks base around current idiosyncrasies, but base them on standards. So embed fonts if you feel you need them - so what if iPad doesn't use them? or the current ADE doesn't need them? Tomorrow things will change. The market is too immature to limit your products to existing devices.
