Come again? I thought you said you were reading for enjoyment, not for manually fixing the faulty display of e-books by e-reader software. I totally refuse to engage in any such manual fixes and activities, although (or perhaps because) I also create e-books professionally.

The sub-par rendering and low CSS fidelity is not a big deficiency for me in Moon+ Reader, but it's there -- and it's one thing that makes Moon+ inferior compared to Marvin. Overall, though, both Marvin and Moon+ are excellent pieces of software -- but both still have a long way to go before I could call either of them "5-star software". We're still in the infant era of e-books, and it shows in the (lack of) quality of available e-readers, regardless of platform.
Fixing ebooks is a hobby for me. I run all my ebooks through editing before it hits my eReader. I've been OCRing topaz books as of late and converting them to readable copies that work on any ereader. Adding section breaks though is easy and fast to do if you make ebooks for a living you should already know this then though.
