I wish I could do it, I know that the vast majority of those who buy ebooks just read them but I can't. I see the spaces between the paragraphs and they disturb me, I see that there is no hyphenation and I want it. I see the indentation too small (11pt for example) and I need it bigger (at least 1.2em, even 1.5em). And I could go on with the ligatures that are not in Kepubs and then I use Koreader if there are notes or images in the book and so on.
I would better spend my time reading, but at least there is an advantage, at 50 I learned some basic concepts of css/html and learning new things is always a nice thing.
