Well, the OPF file just contain metadata, like author, title, etc. All the formatting information is contained in the HTML+CSS composing the e-book content. Any formatting inconsistencies are a result of either the e-book renderer (for HTML-native formats) or the conversion process.

If I understand eReader correctly, it is a CSS-less presentational HTML variant similar to what is used by Mobipocket? In that case you'd need a tool which can properly transform the HTML+CSS input into pure-presentational HTML tailored for the eReader renderer. No idea what tools are available to do that.
