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.
Agreed, and I thought similarly. I think the previous comment is getting perilously close to that slippery typesetting-as-art slope.
