I use the Calibre editor most of the time.

There is no way in heck I would replace the entire publisher CSS. What I do is delete all HTML files that I have no use for like the internal ToC, any reviews, list of other books, previews, adverts, piracy notices, etc. Then I remove all unused CSS.

From there I add/replace my own body and p styles. Then from there I check if I need to add indents of 0 to the classes that use center. Then I remove all line-height where appropriate and I remove all left align. I also remove most <p class="tx"> for most paragraphs. I replace with just a p. Then I go through the classes in the html and fix as needed like the overly hugh wasted space used for chapter headers. I also rmeove any smallish find sizes where appropriate. Basically, by the time i'm done, the CSS is clean and the formatting is very nice.
