FBreader *by design* ignores CSS formatting. Still does.
Coolreader has a toggle; you can choose to ignore the CSS style formats and instead apply the formatting you assign to each tag or have it use the CSS formats but apply your choice of font, margin, and line-spacing settings.
Your reader, your choice.
ADE-based readers the Sony Reader or the unhacked Adobe reader on the PB360 don't offer much choice. That's why a pretty clever person hacked the PB360 ADE to allow end user CSS syles, right?
BTW, other android readers allow the same option to ignore the embedded CSS: Aldiko, Overdrive, even Nook. They have to; as pure software readers with no enforced ties to hardware, they must cater to user needs, not Adobe or the publishers.
With every passing product generation, the hardware-tied readers from Nook, Sony, Kobo, and Kindle are slowly yielding to user control. And where their concessions don't go far enough, the hackers step in.
Users are winning this one; the only question is why the hardware vendors keep dragging their feet.
