Yes, with my sledgehammer approach I often end up with chapter titles on the left rather than centered, not bold, down close to the first paragraph, etc. But what's important to me is that the paragraph text be the same size, likewise for the margins, and line spacing, across all books. I'm more concerned about the words, the story, and the book's readability, not that it be pretty.

For public domain books that I've reformatted and uploaded here I do try to make it look nice but there again I don't specify a point size and set the margin and border to 0 (and now I'm wondering how they would look, on the kobo at least, if I left the margin and border unset or set to inherit).
