I agree with you on this.
- Koreader has a much better PDF reader than the one we find by default on the Kindle.
- For EPUB, it suffers from some defects (some missing css properties, an uncomplete image display) but gives good service for most of the books except the most complex ones.

For these reasons, when I have a complex EPUB to read (with an intricate display, many images of different kinds, etc.), I have rather converting it with one click as a six inches PDF with the Prince PDF plugin we find with Sigil (which also provides excellent hyphenation): just open the EPUB with Sigil, menu "Greffon/Sortie/Prince PDF and you have it. Then, the css display is the most precise and complete I know of.

This solution though can't be generalized because the font-family, line-height and font-size values can't later be modified but it may be perfect if it fits your personal reading choices. So it's a personal solution not a general one.
