An internal CSS might be one way to do it (when loaded properly on your reader, its formatting supersedes the ebook's formatting).
Ironically, Stanza for the iPhone kinda does this-you can pick the typeface, margins, spacing, justification, etc...but.......it overrides the formatting with no way of turning off the override...so all my careful CSS editing is for naught. I'd love to have the option as well.
