As it is, the available font sizes don't always seem to be the same from book to book, and if I change the font up or down by one size - whatever random sizes those may be - the page (screen) count for the book can go up or down by 50 or more pages.
I have seen too many eBooks that use small as the font size for the body font. If I am not mistaken, small is 90% of the default 1em. I've also seen some eBooks made with Adobe InDesign have an off body font size like 1.04. It's because if you don't get things 100% accurate in InDesign, you get wonky numbers.
