I've gotta agree with JSWolf on this one - if people are used to print books, those are the standards they are used to.
That said, I'm not as picky as some people here. The presence or lack of paragraph indents doesn't really bother me one way or the other as long as the space between paragraphs isn't huge. My ereaders let me decide between serif or sans serif or if I want the text justified.
The only thing on his list that I've run into trouble with on ereaders is incorrect hyphenation (words are sometimes broken at the wrong place, not between syllables as is the norm in print books).
As to the capitalization of the first few words discussed earlier in the thread, this only annoys me if it was done wrong so that the first letter of each word is smaller, or if the whole words are smaller than the rest of the text.
