What you can do is remove the DRM (if it has any) and using the Calibre editor or Sigil, you can edit it ot be as good as it can be for you.

I've heard of 'PC versions' of books like Huckleberry Finn having the N word removed and generally being edited to suit a modern reader's sensitivities, especially when those books are aimed at children. Also, there are many Abridged versions of long books.
But the abridgement issue can be a problem with paper/hardbacks too. I have an old Regent's Classics version of Wuthering Heights. No where does it mention that it is abridged; I realised this was the case when I downloaded the ebook from mobileread.
If the OP wants carefully formatted books in the UK public domain (the author died over 70 years ago) mobileread's library contains the most wonderful books.
I would also advise the purchase of a eink dedicated ereader, especially if (he) reads a lot. Maybe a basic kindle.
