If the formatting isn't so bad (i.e., if I can actually read the book on my Forma), I usually just leave everything alone. But, if they've done something silly enough that it bothers me while reading, I go into the Editor and clean things up. In general, I hate those class statements (I'm not smart enough to figure them out). So, I usually delete most of them and use my generic styles. I've already gotten rid of the class statements on the <div>s around every paragraph and converted them over to <p>s. Since those anchored id= things don't seem to be used, I'm going to rip out the whole line. Then I'll do the same for the formatting around the chapter headings and just use <h2>s there. I don't understand why these publishers put all these weird things into what should be a simple, consistent, easy-to-read set of formats for a book. If it were a web page, fine (I guess). But, its a book. It was sold as a book. For a specific ereader. There's no reason for this kind of stuff.
