I'm using a NOOK Simple Touch. One thing that I have learned is that the NOOK over-rides the CSS for paragraphs marked <p>.

Specifically, if I change the CSS for <p> to set the indent to zero, the NOOK still indents paragraphs. To defeat this I had to edit the document to change all the <p> to something else, like <standard>. Then I had to add the format code for .standard to the CSS. After doing that the NOOK displays the paragraphs without indentation.

Bottom line: the e-reader has some default formatting that will over-ride the CSS code in certain circumstances.

I'm not sure if that helps, but best of luck making the machine do what you want!
