I have a collection of books that I enjoy reading over and over (Lord of the Rings, Count of Monte Cristo, etc). With books like that, I like having the text appear professionally typeset, which simply isn't possible with ePub. I take the text of these books and import it into Indesign and fix it up just right, and then export it to a PDF that is designed for the exact size of my reader's screen. For that book, then, I have as near to a perfect copy as I can find. It's work, and I wouldn't go to that length for some dumb Dan Brown barely-readable thing that I'm certainly only going to read once, but for those comfort classics that I return to time and again, it's definitely worth the effort and in the end is the only viable solution for good typesetting.
