Me too. And it really bothers me when the formatting is not to my taste. I can't concentrate. I want to relax with the book, not to think about the formatting constantly. It's like an itch I cannot scratch, unless I fix the formatting before reading the damn book. Do I wish I would be able not to care about such things? Not really. I enjoy fiddling with my library.
As to back-ups, I like to re-read (depends on the book, of course). And I certainly don't want to buy my favorite books and series several times over. I have too many other things on which to spend my money, and I'm not really financially well-off. Besides, as I don't live in the US or UK, I'm not too sure about any future availability of digital goods. I remember too well when most digital movies and books were not (legally) available in my country.
