Always nice to have that option available. Way back several years ago I use to strip away the bad stuff from ebook files so that I could modify the formatting, sometimes drastically modify it, just to make it easier to read. That was when we didn't have that great of resolution or pixel density on our reading devices and when publishers were still formatting ebooks like they were print books. That is, you get what we give you kind of attitude. I'm sure glad those days are mostly over with. Now a days most devices have really good resolution and pixel density which makes it easier on my old eyes. Plus most ebooks I buy these days seem to have the ability to format them without jumping through hoops, so to speak. And most reading apps allow for using quite a few different fonts. I haven't had to modify a Kindle book in many years now. I prefer not to spend all that time making modifications, so I'm glad the times are changing for the better. But there are still some older books that cannot be modified without some unmentionable processes, and there are still some books that don't have flowing text. Thankfully I haven't encountered any in quite a while.
