Some looked just like the version I had, while another looked much better and was "free". I downloaded and imported to Calibre and the formatting came over perfectly. I'll just have to look at each version available and pick the best one.
That holds true mostly for well-known classics and older books with many different editions available. For most new books there usually is only one version available, and generally it's exactly the same version for epub and Kindle both. If you read mostly older books, then it might be rather time-consuming indeed to pick and choose.
