Obviously, Non-fiction will probably be a majority of exceptions, with tables, charts...

I haven't enough experience to write a knowledgeable rant but my current thinking is that something like the following css should be sufficient for the majority of novels. (Largely lifted from html5 reset.)

Let the reader adjust the font size, margins, line spacing, etc. on their e-reader.

html, body, body div, span, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, abbr, address, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, samp, small, strong, sub, sup, var, b, i, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td, article, aside, figure, footer, header, menu, nav, section, time, mark, audio, video, details, summary {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	border: 0;
	font-size: 100%;
	font-weight: normal;
	vertical-align: baseline;
	background: transparent;
}

p {
    display: block;
    font-size: 1rem;
    text-indent: 1.5rem;
    text-align: left;
}

h1 + p, h2 + p, h3 + p {
    text-indent: 0rem;
}

h1, h2, h3 {
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
    margin-bottom: 2rem;
}

h1 {
    font-size: 1.2rem;
}

h2 {
    font-size: 1.1rem;
}
