Also, NEVER set the base body type to any size other than 1.0em. Otherwise, you disturb the user's choice of default size, something they have chosen based on their particular device and vision requirements. It is bad form to force the user to make custom device settings on a per book basis and even worse to do things that prevent them from making their own choice.
