I'm just formatting the css for my new ebook today — before I fix the old one, which I hope to get to in a few days.

I mention this because I'm using the advice given to me here by Hitch, JSWolf and others. I'm using a style sheet based on the input of others and then will apply those lessons learned to the previous book (the one that began this topic).

My question today is about left and right margins. I'm getting the msg that I should avoid adding any kind of space on the left or right for the body text to breath. Is that right?

I can see in the various reader previews that this is not an issue. But is that across the board —*do all readers add their own l/r margins?

P.S. Hitch, I'm using your p padding advice and adding a 0.2 em space between paragraphs. It does look less crowded that way—although in the print version there is no p space and it looks just fine...(mind you, it also has a good line height and that seems to help it look less cluttered).
