And yes, I think I know what you mean about the offset text, especially if what you suddenly get big blobs of stuff that is offset half off the screen. or little weeny/gigantic inserts that you have to keep upping/downing your font size, most disconcerting. And the weird line spacing that can't be fixed by editing the stylesheet. I have seen books with embedded in the html spacing of maybe 50 different sizes, most of them silly. And 50 different font sizes in one book. You have to wonder what they were thinking. I used to try and fix them, now I read something else I am afraid.
Too many books, too little time.

What I do first is remove any unused CSS styles. Calibre can do that. So can Sigil. Then I fix the margins for most of the main text. I also look for font-size in the CSS and delete them as needed. I also fix the indents to what I like. That's most things fixed. I'll also look for % because that usually means poorly defined chapter headers or offset text. If there are not too many chapters, I'll have a quick look at the various chapters to see what thinks look like and if I see anything that looks off, I'll fix it. It takes less time then it sounds like it would. Calibre and Sigil make it very easy to do all of this.
