I buy my books from Amazon and read on a Kobo, so I already have to convert from azw to epub. When I do that, I always give the book at least a cursory glance with Sigil, looking for little things like spaces between paragraphs or weird indents (I use .3in for my indents).
Like Diap suggests, I edit the books because I have the ability to. It doesn't necessarily bother me to read books with different formatting than I prefer. But editing the books in Sigil is a nice time filler when I'm relaxing in the evening with the boob tube on.
Some self published books have pretty bad formatting, but if the book sounded interesting enough to purchase, I don't mind cleaning it up. For one thing, it has taught me to use Sigil.
