I totally disagee, though respectfully. Unless the book is an artsy-fartsy book where style is important, the reader should be able to choose font, font size, margins, paragraph style (indent, non-indent, left, justified, etc.), line spacing, et cetera. Why have all these wonderful text formatting options in an eReader if we cannot use them at will?

You're arguing that every book should look exactly the same

On the contrary, every book should take on the appearance desired by the the person who is reading the book (reader, not eReader device). As such, the appearance would be unique for each person. No two of us are alike, so don't try to force the author's styles on us unless the style is necessary to convey the meaning of the text. If the person wants to change the appearance of the text a hundred times during the course of reading the book, then that is their choice, after all they paid for the book.
