You do realise that mobi books don't have CCS and limited fonts and no embedded fonts and the newer Kindles by default use an Amazon font.
Many epub apps ignore embedded fonts and most of the CSS.
People use KOReader because ir allows fine-grained CSS and even HTML overrides.

Exactly which authors do you mean?

End Edit.

I guess that's your preference. Most people want clean easy to see words. Perhaps happy with a different style of chapter heading per series or genre.

Styles tend to vary by publisher more than by author. Sticking penguins at each chapter head is rather irrelevant to the content.

The bulk of my 3000 approx paper books only really change a bit by era or publisher. Most do not have drop caps, small cap first paragraph leadins or obviously different fonts.

I see more variation on ebooks today.
