Hi Kim,
One thing I would like to add to this is that if a book is told in
multiple points of view and they have different fonts you might not
want to change them or their color. I encountered this with the book
Legend and it was helpful (for the print reader which I'm not) to have
that because sometimes the point of view wasn't clear right away.
Sincerely,
Jackie
