You cannot embed a font into a MOBI file. You can convert it to an AZW3 which supports embedded fonts. The font will then be available, for that book only.

Thanks eschwartz. I don't want to start sideloading books, I email my mobi's to Amazon right now and use Whispernet with my ipad/iphone. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the next few years bring, as long as I don't upgrade my PW1 with any future upgrades they bring out I am safe until the warrenty runs out.

You can keep them in Dropbox, I assume it will offer to open .azw3 in Kindle for iOS. Though I wouldn't guarantee it as I have heard the Android app at least doesn't announce itself as an ereader.

Unless you mean that you want to sync the books. 'Fraid I can't help you there.

The main reason for me having a Kindle is the email option and the sync between devices. Anything that stops that means I might as well not have a Kindle. I already have a Kobo and sideload that, which is fine, but I do miss the email and sync of the Kindle when using my Kobo.

Fair enough.

Actually, I did hear somewhere here that you can email dual MOBIs that contain both mobi7 and mobi8 content, and amazon will accept it and give you KF8 (complete with embedded fonts and all) on supported devices. But I haven't tried it out.

Under Preferences ==> Output ==> MOBI, choose MOBI file type = "both", and give it a try, but I guarantee nothing.
