If Marvin is
transparent about the display of books, there will be no problems. The default would be the same it is today. Some users might prefer to override a book with their favourite settings theme, and for them, there might be a "Default" or "Disable theme" button, allowing them to return to the default display of a book with a single press of a button. (Essentially, that's what "publisher settings" are today on an even deeper, "100% HTML default" level.)

I for one agree with you, but that's just me. I've been saying the same thing in this thread, but got slammed for it.
I think it's important to recognize that for some Marvin users, even "tapping a few times" is too much trouble.
Most importantly, obliging those users would not take anything away from you, me, or anyone else. It would be a purely
optional feature:
opening a book, instantly overriding its display with one's favourite settings theme. No one would be
forced to use this feature.
(I believe this might be called a crucial principle when adding new software features: they should not be added so as to take previous, trusted functionality away from the users. Which is why Windows 8 has been such a debacle...)
