If it still looks like the version you linked, then no, everything is not OK. It looks awful. It's not formatted in a way that is comfortable for reading.

What's wrong ? This is the latest version : manuscritdepot.com/doc-transfert/n.jocelyn-malo.1.epub

I've taken the liberty of going through the latest edition and making a few minor changes throughout it; things like changing <p style="text-align: center;"> to <p class="center">, and removing what I think was a superfluous <span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span> around your capital letter at the start of a paragraph.

Also there was a missing ; in your CSS for h3, and one of your images was in the CMYK colour space instead of the RGB that ADE wants.

It looks awful. It has paragraph spaces and no indents. Also, it's left justified.

The beauty of moving all the formatting into the stylesheet is that now, you can make changes in one place and affect the formatting throughout the book.

For instance, you might want to add an indent to all paragraphs, except those after a heading.

That can be done by the following CSS code in the stylesheet:

h2 + p {
  text-indent: 0;
}

and adding in

text-indent: 1em;

to the existing p definition in the stylesheet.

The new code says that for the first p following a h2 override the text-indent.

The change for de letter of the first word on the first paragraph does not work on every reader :

I had the codes in the css. Thank you

Your eBook still looks awful. Left justified, no indents, and paragraph spaces make for some really poor reading.

I like the paragraph with space because it's provides an airy layout.

I justified the text.

This is the result :

Bravo!

Paragraphs with spaces or with indents is personal preference. That said, I too don't like paragraph spacing. If you look at paper books, they all indent (novels, textbooks is another matter). Given that the screen size of most readers is 6", spacing reduces what you can see even more. So I too would advice to indent, it is the norm. People who like spacing should be able to do it for themselves, since nearly no published ebook does this.
For the alignment, either justify (for amazon) or don't specify it so that the reader can set it.

Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate.
