Reading on a six inch screen, my choice is a line space between paragraphs without any paragraph indent.
Just feels better to me. |

1.2em is probably fine by me, but when I fiddled with it, I found that 1.25em was better, and 5% even better (which is slightly more than 1.25em), but maybe, maybe, slightly too small. Does anyone know what 5% is in ems? What is in between 5% and 1.5em? |

Is ragged right that much better? I keep flipping back and forth between the two options on my Kindle. Why ragged right when physical books are almost all justified? |

I format all my books in Calibre too. No spaces between paragraphs, text-indents 1em - no smaller, no bigger, fixed line-spacing and embedded body font must go, ditto for too small or too big base font size (I don't want to constantly adjust font size on my ereaders with every new book), text justified.

Also, make sure you have the epubcheck plugin installed. You will want to validate the eBook before you are done. I use both the built-in checker and epubcheck. |

By using em, you get an indent that works with the font size you choose. I've seen 5% and it's too large. A good indent should be less no more then 2em and preferably less.
