My rule: 'No hard-and-fast rules'
(OK, I do have ONE. No absolute sized margins, indents for basic body structure)

It just has to pass my visual check on my 5" e-ink device
(I do a mid range zoom check and don't worry about the edge range cases)


Not All lines justified.

Verse I do not justify (and I usually display it the same as the original).

Blockquotes are always depends on the content. The position (symmetric or Asymmetric) is also open.

I stick close to paper books, because they were designed to be visually pleasing. Why mess with success?

IMHO all ebooks should come with a pleasing (original) Default style for those that don't wish to override. They should also allow the device to take charge.
