That's usually sufficient for me. I might change the font-family to monospace so that the reader/apps default monospaced font is used, but that's about the extent of it.

That's where I am coming from also, I just want to edit out the jarring experience of a "hand written letter" within the plot line, which is beautifully fully justified, or a " web article" that comes with regular indents instead of block paragraphs. I think publishers are just lazy, sometimes.
