Yeah, I was wondering if I'd had it backwards after I sent that. Regardless, to me I want the indentation to be consistent; whatever letter/text is above or below the indented text should stay in that place when the text is zoomed in our out.
Try making a simple web page with the lorem ipsum text and set the paragraph indentation at 5% and another page with the indentation at 1.5em. Name the files percent.html and em.html then they'll open in your web browser. If you normally have your browser maximized make it a regular window and resize its width. Watch how the indentation changes in the percent file while it stays the same with the em file. If you prefer that varying indentation then that's fine but you don't want to upload public domain books using percent based indentation here or wherever because it's nonstandard and few people like that.
