I uploaded a few html files but it's really hit or miss on what happens to it and I'm still unsure about css.
It's kind of strange that it's "hit or miss"... EPUB content is HTML and CSS, so whatever you HTML and CSS you create is exactly what a EPUB renderer will render. With LRF your content first has to go through a conversion which will be more or less faithful depending upon the quality of the converter and the complexity of your formatting.

The Reader's default font size for EPUB books on the 'M' zoom is 12 points. If your CSS includes 'p { margin: 0; text-indent: 1em; }' you'll get paragraphs with book-like paragraph indents and no extra margins. For the page margins, assuming you're using Calibre, you just need to set up your conversion options to what you want.

If you're using Calibre then it'll deal with the limitation (no content stream over 300k) for you automatically.

If you have the CSS we discussed, either '<div class="toc"> </div>' or '<span class="toc"> </span>' will work, just '<div class="toc"> </div>' is better from a "markup aesthetics" standpoint. Just put the text you want to have no indent within the <div/> or <span/> element and you're good to go!
