I ended up ( kobo Aura HD ) needing all 3 of :
1. code in root directory to override the default top & bottom page margins.
2. addins to force epub to kepub conversions when sideloading
3. manual css edits for almost every book I want to read in a layout of my choosing, so that the device sliders actually worked
kindle is far more forgving. it processed pretty much any retyail book into a readable state, no matter how stupid the publishers font / line space etc decisions were.
ditto for the Moon + app on tablets. By ignoring / replacing the dafter CSS, it turns a published mess into a readable version most of the time, with no manual intervention cannot say the same for the Kobo app unless it has greatly improved since I abandoned it

I side load all my books, using Calibre. Have never edited any of my books, or felt the need
