You could use "cm" or "mm" too, and those are clearly absolute... but some devices (e.g. my Kobo) have a personal view on what a cm is.

Hmm... well, this does certainly make for some interesting alternative ways of doing what I've been doing, but I'm still a bit hesitant, if only because I'd effectively be "disabling" the ability of the user to change the font size -- and don't you people keep emphasizing to me that I shouldn't screw with things like that?

And if using % for the margins/size, you should be aware that it may not change with font size, but it will change with screen orientation or device margins.

Yeah, I think I mentioned this earlier, but that's the very reason that I didn't want to go with %, and went with em instead, because I wanted my tables to be indented the same as I'd indented my poems and "blockquotes," and have everything all nicely uniform in that way (design-wise).
I think I'm pretty happy with how this all turned out, based on our earlier discussions here -- at least, testing in ADE and in iBooks, all seems to have turned out well (and I even managed to
really simplify a lot of my coding for all the tables in my book in the process, which is a huge bonus, in light of the fact that I have a bunch more coming my way soon).
