In tables, yes, changing font-size will be disabled if we set font-size in pixels. Let's say that if we are going to follow this approach, we need to set the tables font-size in a point where reading is confortable (something equivalent to 1/1.2 em).

Also, I don't really know alot about the "hardware" side of things, but with these newer hi-def tablets, how are "pixels" measured? Like, something that's 72dpi will come out like that, but are hi-def screens higher than that, and then wouldn't the text (and various other things) come out much smaller if/when you specify their size in pixels? I'm not sure exactly how that works -- I could be imagining a potential problem there that just doesn't exist, I don't know.
Good point! By using pixels, texts that looks fine in some ereaders could appear tiny in others ones. Really I don't have an answer to this question of you.
