So...if I want to read the book on my Kindle not print it do I even need the CSS file? |
You actually don't need that rule. I tend to remove it from any books I find page-styles.css in, most of which are calibre conversions.

The only caution is that calibre conversions tend to put any font-face declarations for embedded fonts into page-styles.css.

I'd suggest using either calibre's editor or Sigil instead of a plugin. Most of my cleanup tends towards setting the body and two paragraph directives one with and one without indentation.
