A lot of eBooks have formatting issue that cannot be fixed by any automated way. So I go in and edit. I've not come across all that many eBooks where I have to split.
She is not fussy about the formatting but does want a working ToC and a book that reads smoothly on her Libra. Fonts, formatting, kerning, etc.? She really doesn't notice or care about them. Annotations need not apply.

Considering that much of her current reading is self-pubbed, you run into the usual nasties from the programs used to create the original files. One of them is more ebooks with structural issues in a month than I see in a year in my choice of genres. One contributing factor is that when she discovers a new author, she tends to binge read their catalogue so you get a mass of books created with the same workflow and with the same issues.
