But still ePUBs are read in devices with a variety of resolutions. Your call to margins using absolute units is valid and sensible, but that means using pt, cm, mm, in... pixels are a device-dependent unit and should not be used if you want absolute units.

Personally, I'd just find it really annoying to have the margins change with the text size. I would either have to fix it myself or just not read the book and also maybe put you in the thread about poorly made eBooks.
Fair enough, I try to create my books so that they are easy to modify . Note, however, that I was not referring to page margins, but relative margins and indents of different pieces of text, like poetry or blockquotes.
