I usually edit my books to be one file per chapter and a TOC entry per file, and to remove overly specific font styling, but one thing I noticed the most is page numbering jumping between chapters, and stats bring messed up.

P.S. One pet peeve of mine is the books with a whole file just for the title of the chapter, and with the content in another file, not in the TOC, but referenced using the spine.

And Jon, before you get on your hobby-horse about wasted space and useless files, I completely and utterly disagree with your campaign to make all books look the same, remove all except absolutely necessary whitespace and remove extras that the author or publisher added. My cleanup is about making sure I can read the book. My suggestions are to help people achieve the results that they desire.
I partly disagree with this, but only with regards to fiction. I believe publishers get too much freedom with EPUB, and tend to abuse it (especially for fiction). The font overriding wars is an example of this, and using divs for everything and using CSS to make it online, increase the font size, look like a paragraph, and so on.

Once I have the patches, there will be a convenient way to do this. For now, you can enable dev mode (search devmodeon), and enable it from device info, but note that this is now even longer to get to from reading a book. I haven't tried them, but there are also night mode mods.
