I set margins, paddings & text-indent to 0 in the body class and the same plus a padding-top: 0.1em in the base paragraph style. Add an indented paragraph style. After that, inheritance does the most of the work for me. I find my Kobos follow the CSS well enough that most tweaks are not needed. Embedded fonts and dropcaps go bye-bye since 90% of the time they are improperly implemented ( see years of nasty comments about ebooks being created by interns ).

Yeah, it gives me a very boring look but then I'm reading for content not pretty printing.
Yes, I do most of the same things (minus the paragraph padding). I just want more finely tuned choices in font sizes and line heights in the Kobo settings than the default ones - so that I can get the text look exactly right for me. I can't get the text exactly right with the default settings - only with patches. That is what I meant by being satisfied with the default settings - obviously they're enough for you, but not for me.
