I've done that for the Kindle (for KF8) using Charis SIL and it worked very well.

As someone said earlier in this thread, 1.2 is pretty much a default or common setting for most fonts. For most people it will make the text more legible to be set to 1.2 rather than 1.0. The only time I'd consider using 1em for text is on titles or short bits of text (maybe links on websites). I think you're an edge case in preferring it for reading large quantities of text.

Definitely agree with this, I've just got myself a Kobo Mini and its driving me mad that I can't switch off the hyphenation without forcing it in the CSS.
