I have been able to read these books by converting them to mobi in Calibre and then converting them back to ePUB. It occurs to me that if I am going to do that, maybe I should have stayed at the 1.x firware, but some ePUBs work without having to jump through these hoops.

Does anyone know of a way to remove the fonts from an ePUB file without converting to mobi and then back to ePUB?

You'll need to understand how the ePub 'wrapper' works. First it is a zip file. If you change the extension (on windows) to zip, it will show you all the folders and files that make up the ePub book.

There should be a font folder, but you will also need to adjust the "content.opf" file

- I've never done this, so I may be well off of the mark ..... I still read only mobi....

The wiki (see link in my sig) may help ....
