As for diddling? Other than library loans, very few books arrive on my Kobo ereaders without a trip through various utilities and a final touchup in Sigil so not a biggie to me. Converting AZW3/KF8 to epub is also not a big deal thanks to DiapDealer and KindleUnpack. Did I remember to say thanks for your work on calibre plugins and Sigil?

I'm rather fussy about how I like my ebooks laid out and after a few years of practice, most epubs takes less than 10 minutes to fix up.
This is very interesting. What is it about an ebook and the way it's been formatted that you do not like that you need to reformat all ebooks before reading them? I'm genuinely curious since I mostly just read via the Kindle app and I get what I get.
