The publishers also use stylesheet(s) to control the appearance of the book as well. Mix in some very strange (in my opinion) in-line styles and the whole ebook becomes a pyramid balanced on it's tip. Quite often, I've found it easier to simply dump the publisher style and replace it with my own styles. At least, I don't do things like specifying the body style scattered over two stylesheets and an inline piece.
Sometimes, even trivial items such as renaming embedded font files which I did today while looking at one of Roger64's books. Changed the font file names, changed the @font-face entries. Everything looked fine except the drop caps. See the images below for what they looked like in ADE on a Windows PC. Ended up changing the drop cap css to some code used before and looked okay again.
image 1 = original
image 2 = font files renamed
image 3 = drop cap css modified (let1)
