I really don't do anything at all. I just convert to kepub and that's it. Previously I was using epubs and played with the patch settings a lot and had them looking the way I wanted. However, since I started using kepubs I'm satisfied with how they render right out of the gate. I like having the title of the book at top and the smaller footer at the bottom. It just looks balanced to me, similar to reading an actual book. I ended up not preferring having no header at the top and the page numbers way down at the bottom. Aesthetically it just didn't appeal to me. The patch is still worth it for advanced font controls on sideloaded fonts though.

I really don't know the technical reason why, but Duckie gives good reasoning above. It makes a huge difference to me is all I can say. I was using epubs previously. Highlight is much easier and page turns much faster with kepubs. The difference is very noticeable. Geoff on here made a good post about the differences between epub and kepub in the Kobo forum. Here's his post:
