I think the lesson here is that every e-reader's firmware will react differently with an epub book's cascading style sheet.

My NOOK Simple Touch, for example, will make a small paragraph indent for anything marked with <p>. I can define text-indent=0 in the <p> section of the css, and NOOK ignores that completely. Stubborn bugger!

If I want to read without indented paragraphs on my NOOK (don't ask me why) then I have to change all the <p> marks in the text to something else, like <standard>, then add a section for <standard> in the css.

It's all a bit of a hassle, yes. But it doesn't take very long to make those changes (with a little practice).

Morale of the story: get to know your particular e-reader's quirks and limitations. You can probably learn how to make it do what you want.
