I edit every book I buy in the calibre editor. Fixed font type and size in the body text, fixed margins and line-spacing in the same, too large paragraphs indents and spaces between ordinary paragraphs all have to go. These days it takes me a minute or two to fix a book, if that, except for a few horrific cases (usually self-pubs). Ads and excerpts from other books get thrown out too, as I can't stand those. Widows and orphans I set to 1.
I found it easier to do all this in one fell swoop than to constantly fiddle with the ereader settings and still be frustrated when things don't feel exactly right. I don't usually touch the font, line and margin settings on my Kobos at all anymore, once I've set them according to my preferences when I get a new device. I can just open a book and start reading. Bliss.
