I agree with her: learning a bit of css and html is not so difficult. I did it because I was not satisfied with the formatting of the books I was reading and now I try to modify them as little as possible so as not to be bothered by them.
Obviously those who do it for work know a lot more about it. Sometimes css is too complex and I am not able to do exactly what I would (why that indentation doesn't increase? Why the margin remains at zero and I have to give them a <br> under the image?) But now it is not so frequent.
I think I did not waste my time.
And I noticed something else: most publishers use horrible css, perhaps made with some program that is used for printing (Hitch correct me if I'm wrong) and somehow they pull out directly from it the epub, which sucks.
