But there is a defacto style for print books. 99% of my hundreds of print books indent normal paragraphs and don't do this for scene breaks and the beginning of a chapter. At least how a print book looks from afar seems to me standard (so to say the styling of a book). On the typesetting side of things, there could be differences, but I don't look for these. Only ebooks have for example often large spaces between each paragraph (maybe this comes from the web). Ebooks often are very different on the layout, something print books just weren't and I can't understand why. Typesetting on the other hand is just not there in ebooks apart from how the reader renders the text.
I think the fact that there is no defacto standard for ebooks leads to many complains. One just doesn't know how an ebook will look, before opening it. But I definitely know how the next print book I open will look.
