Paperback "books" are single font,
and use a different reader from Newton books.

Newt's Cape creates books from HTML documents
directly on any Newton -- from Notes, Inbox on 1.x,
but also Newtworks and web on 2.x.

your mileage may vary depending on HTML document complexity/size, Newton
memory/version, your needs (some find that Newt's Cape is great as a hybrid
book creation/web browser tool; others see that it does neither optimally).
