Simply set your desired paragraph defaults in the CSS. Eg;

Code:
.p {
    text-indent: 1.5em;
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0
}
What's hard about that? It has the huge benefit over manually indenting each paragraph separately that, should you later decide that you want a different indentation of a different paragraph spacing, you only have to edit it in one place, and your whole book will change to match the settings. Immensely easier that formatting each paragraph individually.

Why do you find it to be a "major task"?
