Books that do not specify font size as part of the chapter body have an odd glitch of dropping to the smallest font size when you page to a new chapter. Looking at the font size slider shows it at the normal position, moving it one step larger or smaller and then back restores the font to the normal size. Noted on Timespike by Eric Flint and Marilyn Kosmatka which was converted to epub by an old version of Calibre (Baen seems to have used Calibre a lot to convert their earlier ebooks to epub format). After editing the file to change the <body> tags to <body class="epub"> where 'epub' is defined in the stylesheet and has a font-size definition, the font size issue vanished.
I can't reproduce this. Most of my books seem to have the font settings, but I had a test case that that doesn't. Each chapter is just:

Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <title>Extra Chapters</title>
  <link href="../Styles/Style0001.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

<body>
  <h2 id="sigil_toc_id_2">Chapter 1</h2>

  <p>Chapter 1 - Paragraph 1 - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla ac tellus nunc. Phasellus i
With more paragraphs to have more than one page and appropriate close tags. The complete stylesheet is:

Code:
p {
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
    text-indent: 2em;
	widows: 1;
	orphans: 1
    }
Paging through this on the Glo works with no problems. I trawled the books to see if I could find one without that didn't set the font size anywhere. All the books from Baen do (and yes, they have all passed through calibre). The only one I could find had no styles set and in fact had no stylesheet at all. This didn't have any problems.
