Most ePub these days don't look like printed books. They look awful. They have large indents or none, line spaces between paragraphs, huge spaces between sections, font sizes all over the place, and margins that just look silly. They just don't look like a printed book. If they did, they'd actually be mostly there in terms of formatting for a screen.
