For the most part, I will edit about 90% of epubs before sending them to my ereader. The cleanup range from relatively minor such as cleaning up Vellum created ebooks to ebooks that have no useful CSS stylesheets and use embedded styles to ebooks that make epubcheck barf and me wonder how they got by any incoming quality checks.

I never use epubcheck and edit the css only as much as necessary for my personal preferences. Have had no issues with my Kobo yet. IMHO such checks are overkill. I buy far too many books to check for errors and clean the code in every one of them, although I do edit them all.
