Yes, there are many things that the publisher decides in a printed book and that anyone who reads an ebook, especially with an ereader, wants to choose himself or they just don't exist. For example: obviously book dimensions don't exist in ebooks (like epub, not pdf), one can read on devices ranging from 5" to 13" and if you read with a laptop the screen is even bigger. As for the margins the reader wants to decide them himself and also the font. The same goes for line spacing: every ereader has a system for making the reader choose them, more rudimentary or more refined but everyone (at least the ones I've seen) has it. Not to mention the font size, every eye wants its own.
By the way: I couldn't read a book printed with one font for each character.
