Have you never encountered annoyingly faint, grey, small publisher fonts
Like PeterT, I just sideload all books as they are. Once in a great while I'll run into a mess of a book that was purchased where font size changes multiple times, sometimes within the same sentence, but that's very seldom.

100% of my books sideloaded let me adjust line spacing and margins. I use GeoffR's patches though, maybe that's why.

I've seen the light gray text you mention, but it's only the first letter or a few words at the beginning of a chapter where the publisher tried to do something fancier that probably looks great on a tablet, but doesn't work out well on an ereader. But as I said, it's just a letter or a few words only so I don't bother fixing those.

The patches might really be the difference, they do give you a lot more control.
