Mobi don't have no CSS. Whatever you put in that box gets translated to html attributes.

I just did a little more investigation where I specified the "width" attribute directly in the html (instead of CSS). I increased the amount of indent for consecutive paragraphs:

1.2em
1.3em
1.4em
1.5em
1.6em
1.7em

Kindlegen maintained the different fractional "width" attributes (I checked with mobiunpack). There was no visible difference in the appearance of the paragraph indents when displayed on the Kindle. They all looked like what I would consider a 2em indent.

Must experiment more.
