Padding probably worked more easily because its not used much in ebooks so there wasn't more specific CSS code to override it. For margin to work in quite a few of my library books I had to use p.indent and p.nonident along with p... but I was using it more to make the left and right margins smaller since when I made the font bigger the margins got bigger and I wound up with like 3 words per line.
