The simple answer is no. Electronic reading devices contain a limited number of resident fonts and have facilities for resizing which forces re-pagination. You will notice on Kindle that page numbers are estimated. Your work will be displayed on anything from a 40" LCD screen to a 4" Smartphone.

Formatting may be maintained and controlled by saving your work as a PDF with embedded fonts. However, this results in awkward output. If your book is represented by 1 page per screen on a small device the text may be so small as to render it unreadable. If you magnify the text is will not re-paginate. Subsequently you would need to scroll left and right to read each individual line.
