If you are going to sell it, you don't have to define ANY indents....that's the whole reason the apps/readers/users can adjust the indent to THEIR preference.
Kobo cannot adjust indents and apps that do, get it wrong. They tend to screw up indents of 0 as in a new chapter or start of a section break. It's best to use indents. A lot of publishers use 1.2em and some use 1.5em. I have seen 1em but don't like 1em. 1.2em is best (IMHO). A % is much more noticeable with different screen sizes. Someone could create the eBook using a % that works on a 6" 800x600 screen but read the same eBook on a 7" 300DPI screen and the indent may not look good. em is the best as you as the reader will usually use the same font size on your Reader.
