I may scrap trying to mimic print for this book, but I personally don't mind screen space used around chapter heads. Paper got wasted in print books for chapter headers and I wasn't bugged by that!
It'd be kind of boring if every ebook looked the same.

But using a % like you did is not going to work. It means that with different size screens, you get different amounts of space. Also, you have to remember, this is a screen. What may have worked for a pBook doesn't mean it works for an eBook. You may not be able to duplicate the look and feel of this pBook and have it work. It's a different medium. For example, I've seen pBooks where the hardcover was printed exactly the same for a MMPB and because of this, the size of the print for the MMPB was too small.
Don't do things that don't work. 18% and 15% space around a chapter title does not work for an eBook. Having offset text (like in a blockquote) be smaller doesn't always work. Having the main text be smaller then 1em doesn't work. Having large left/right margins doesn't work. Embedding a font just because it was the font used in the pBook doesn't work (there are cases where it does work, but in most cases it doesn't work). Graphics have to be of high resolution or they may not work. Do not a graphics of text just because it's easier then created the code as that doesn't work. You have to create your eBook so it works as an eBook and no as thought it was a pBook.
