If at some point you get a reader that supports "auto", you can just change the margins to "auto". Or, you can set "auto" margins right now, and 2em padding. A reader that does support "auto" shows it properly centered, while a reader that doesn't will show the "second best" option
And using em for margins is just wrong. It means when you up the font size, you also make the margins wider. Use pt or px for the margins.
