Of course there are good and bad books out there, but in general a reading app should honor the stylesheet. Like I said, if there is no margin, the text is too close to the screen edge to read comfortably.

The problem is that different people like things differently. I like a smaller margin and a smaller line-height than some. So if you put in no margins and no line-height, you can set the margin and line-height as you like and I can set these as I like. But, if you have a margin and line-height that you like, it might not be how I like or what the other person likes. Start with the lowest common options and let the user use the settings to change things.
There is one way to please everyone. No DRM and make it so the margins and line-height are set in the body style. Just edit the body style and you are good to go. It's really that simple. But in reality, it'll never be that simple.
