Thanks for the feedback odedta and dickloraine!
There is no margin-top/bottom on the paragraphs - in the video there is just blank lines between the parapgraphs for some reason. (If you want you can actually add e.g. margin-top or first line indents to paragraphs of a new template - you can make you own templates, with full control of most relevant css via a control panel (margins, firstline-indent, fonts, font-size, line-height, semantics, text-alignments, bold, italic, caps, super/sub, lists). (NB!The full styling panel and the make-your-own-design-templates-functionality are still early versions, so there are known glitches there...)
I agree that first line indent would be great as a default in at least some templates, and this is what we initially had. But for it to really work we needed to give the user control of this - so we prioritized to not include first-line indents until we could give the user full control over the indentation rules for the templates.
As for the fonts, I am of the opinion that creators should be able to define the default look for their works, as they do in print books and as they do on websites - since the typographical experience is central to a good reading experience (IMHO). But only for the default look, so that you as a user can always change the font on your reader system of choice. (how this is defined in our CSS needs to play nice with how readers systems changes the fonts - this is something that might need more work to work with all reader systems, though).
All in all there is a lot of prioritizing with a project like this - what we use a lot of energy on right now is securing that people can't make invalid epubs. Since we try to give people a lot of (non-coding) control - there are a lot of variables to consider. But it's getting better and better.
The coming version 0.0.6 has experimental publish-to-the-web functionality, ads color-controls, better word-import and in general a lot of polishing.
