I have consistent font size and line spacing in all my books, without nuking the existing css.
On the kobo it turns out surprisingly well when you nuke all of the css. The paragraphs are ragged right, no indentation, and a blank line between them. Those are easily fixed with some css on the p tag. For the kinds of books that I get there are few if any diary/letter entries, and even if there are they are typically in italics. The headings formatted with p tags turn out plain with no bold and 1em but they're just 1 line and then a bunch of pages so I can overlook them being funky; if authors/formatters would use h tags they'd look fine.

I've had to get aggressive in ripping out the css because I download probably at least 1 book a day on average from ereaderiq. Trying to do a nice job like you do takes too much time, since most of these free books don't engage me so I stop and move on to the next one.
