And I discovered I enjoyed fiddling with my elibrary. The downside of this activity was that I grew extremely fussy about the formatting and metadata of my books. But that was years after I started ereading.
You'll be fine.

I also fix the formatting of most eBooks I read. I find in most cases, whoever made these eBooks should be fired and that includes self-published authors. At least with the big publishers, in most cases, it's not much of an effort to fix the CSS/HTML. But some self-published authors, the code can be a disaster and the HTML one big file. It's just awful. Amazon should really have quality control on self-published eBooks.
