The closest I 've found is th FB reader. It follows most of the embedded CSS but allows you to override the more common ones (line spacing, font size, indents and others).

Because most ereaders do not follow the embedded CSS my stylesheets are minimal. Sometimes with as few as three labels; .bodydef, .header and .text.

Just to help out if you haven't tried it. When you go to the Menu>More>Settings select "Text" then "More styles" you will find yourself on familiar grounds reading the options.

Here is the APK link. Scroll down to find FBReaderJ-1.0.12.apk (the latest version).

P.S. I use a Coby MID7024 (Android 2.2) for the same reason it comes with the Adobe DRM version of Aldiko and runs every ereader I have installed on it (non-rooted).
