The homogenization of eBooks is one of the things I dislike the most. I like when different books by the same author use different styles. Often, that style is related to the story, theme, genre, etc.
OTOH, there's James Patterson, who long ago picked a style for his physical books, and every hardcover with his name on the cover (even those where he likely did not write a single word) has the same style. The style is designed to hide how short the book really is...with short chapters, new chapters always starting on the right-hand page, and large vertical margins around the chapter number, you get a lot more physical pages with a word count less than 90K. This style has not carried over to the eBooks.
