I've looked at a bunch of my purchased books in Calibre editor or Sigil; what kills me is that a fair few of them, even from the BIG publishers, don't pass ePubCheck!
You'd think that would be a minimum standard for SELLING an epub ...
And you are SO correct that they usually leave a crap ton of unused CSS. But I read too many books to edit them all. At 60+ I might be willing to turn a favorite paper book into digital for my personal use, but I'm danged if I'm going to PAY for a book and THEN have to spend time to edit it. Unless there is something that my eyes just can't cope with, like a spindly embedded font. Fortunately those are rare.
