If you specify a line-height, set it to 1.2 and don't specify units for it. Use one space after a period, except with initials - thus, "C.J. Cherryh" rather than "C. J. Cherryh." Don't overspecify things; use CSS classes and only use the style rules you need. Above all, though? Be consistent.
But then, I'm a weirdo. I like clean design.  |
I too like minimalist design in eBooks. It'd just easier to deal with. You wont believe the amount of junk left in the average CSS. Use Sigil or Calibre to strip the unused classes from the CSS and you'll get s CSS (sometimes) that is less than 1/2 the size.
