Thanks for the hint! I tried

  \usepackage{everypage}
  \AddEverypageHook{\noindent}

but that doesn't seem to work. Is that what you had in mind?

I am slightly surprised that people seem to think this is such a strange
request. Here's a small example from a printed book:

(sorry for the yellow highlighting, screenshot from Google books). The
indentation of the first line on that page just doesn't look right to me
-- am I the only one who feels that way?
