I get frustrated at the publishers who think that for some insane reason, they need to set their standard font size to about 83% of default. I get even, though; I just modify the CSS to make the default about 120% of normal. That way, it cancels out their "make it smaller" code without breaking any relative font sizes (such as in headers).

One book I read late last year even had missing hyphens; I think the publisher took them out of the raw text when formatting for print. Thankfully, there was no DRM and I was able to go in and fix those errors...
