Hi Clytie,

The reason the ePub hasn't been added to the booki manual yet is that it
is currently not working, however the developers are working on it, so
it should be up and running again soon.  To import an ePub all you need
to do is copy the url link for the ePub and then past it into the url
box under import epub on your Profile page before clicking import.

With regards to fonts used for publishing books.  When you publish in
Booki you can choose to completely customise the css used for
publication, including font selection.

Cheers,

John
