4. Nook Simple touch - On the device the book looked best
5. Nook Simple touch android apk - not as in the device
Well, I can say certainly on 1, then you are doing something wrong. Ditto 4 & 5, but that makes sense, as they are Nooks, and if it doesn't work on ADE, it likely shan't work on a Nook of any color. See below:

I am not using any complicated css codes, just simple selectors and decedent selectors. I am really baffled why these readers seem to throw away my settings. I really hate reading a book that is not properly formatted.
In fact moonreader comes with 3 free wbooks and in all of them the text is left-justifed (no indentation). Really, who is making these software !! Surely, there's a reason why indentations were introduced in the first place.
Might it be possible that I should use inline styles instead?

Your inputs are welcomed and please recommend any android apk that supports even basic CSS (some pretend to).

Thanks
Decendent selectors don't work on a boatload of apps and devices, frustratingly. That could be part of the problem. Also, many Droid readers allow users to change EVERY-damn-thing. EVERYTHING. Which will, if you take this gig seriously, make your head explode. You've been warned.

I'm with Diap and the gang: show us your stylesheet and a sample ePUB, and we'll be far better able to help you.
