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?
5% varies depending on what device you are using to read with. A 6" Reader will have a smaller indent and a 7" Reader will have a larger indent and an 8" Reader will have an even larger indent. em is consistent. Once you find an em you like, just use that and it will work on whatever screen you use.
