My choice is to use Sigil to edit those epubs that have the sort of layout suggesting that the publisher had an interning high school student create the layout. Given a half decent (in my not so humble opinion) layout, I don't find it compelling to edit the ebook.

One of my test ebooks when I was looking at the apps on the Samsung tablet was a book of poetry. The Pocketbook app was the only one that did a decent job of rendering the mass of indents and un-dents used. With Moon+ even when I enabled publisher CSS, the page layout was, being gentle, a fornicating mess. I will admit that nothing rendered the spiral last line of one poem as it is in the dead book edition. I've attached a sample image to show what I meant by a spiral line (this is a dummy sample from TikZ/TeX).
