However since no one blasted you for mentioning it, I figured I would admit to it.
I purchase and download each book into Calibre but go in and check the css files for line-height then I just reconvert the book into the desired format, I have a two Kindles and two Kobos, so I have to have EPUBS as well.
Until Amazon allows for better manipulation of books on their devices I will always side-load them so that the series and series index precedes the title. I can't see what book is next if I cant see the series name. Kindle doesn't have enough space on their title lines to show it all.
So I guess after spending $4000 in the past 4 years on Kindle books I suppose I can't be faulted for wanting to have the books formatted the way I like. I just wonder how the authors allow this kind of editing to happen in the first place because no one would put up with it if they were opening up a dead tree version.

Hi. Welcome to the land of professional authors. The authors here are pretty cool.
Many of them probably use Calibre.
