A lot of ePubs specify things like font-size, paragraph spacing, line-height, and font color via stylesheets. I'm developing a reader, and I'm wondering what is the recommended way of overriding those ePub-set styles and displaying a user's custom display settings. Besides inserting something like:

Code:

* { color: #usercolor; }
p { color: #usercolor; }
body { color: #usercolor; }

Are there any recommended techniques for this? Thanks.
