I prefer 1.2em. Simon & Schuster also uses 1.2em for their Star Trek eBooks.
It seems that most who have replied prefer 1.2em for an indent.

I think that's exactly what I want, actually. I want it to be a consistent proportion of the width of the line. If I increase or decrease the text size with a fixed line width, why would that mean I want a different indentation size?
1.2em is probably fine by me, but when I fiddled with it, I found that 1.25em was better, and 5% even better (which is slightly more than 1.25em), but maybe, maybe, slightly too small.
Does anyone know what 5% is in ems? What is in between 5% and 1.5em?
