Yes, you can send bad books to the device using calibre. Calibre updates the metadata when it sends, but doesn't touch the areas of the files that I think are the likely causes of the processing problems. But, a conversion should fix the problems. This will force a rewrite of all of the book and it should remove the problems.

I ask because I've tried very hard to learn how to edit the epubs via sigil but I just can't get it, so I need Calibre in the meantime for adding book covers and removing some formatting, as well as removing something else sometimes. But a lot of times my ebooks are kinda wonky one way or another and I often wonder if it's calibre.
Loading an epub into calibre and then sending it to the device won't change the formatting. If you do a conversion, it can change depending on the options.
