Now this is an interesting point...
I'll quite happily read bog-standard Times New Roman, left-aligned, no drop caps, a double line-break to indicate a new paragraph. I don't think my reading experience is degraded any by it. However, give me 'stylistic touches' that interact badly with whatever stylesheet I might have made default (because hey, my eyes aren't as good as they once were and I might want that Times New Roman font to be 18pt), and I probably WILL get annoyed.
So... what DO you do for ebooks? I don't mean that nastily, I'd genuinely like to know.
