Yes. I knew nothing about css/html when I started editing my books, but it wasn't actually all that difficult. There's still a lot I don't know, because I haven't studied it in depth; I know just enough to make my books look the way I want on my ereaders. It doesn't even take much time - a few minutes per book at most, once you've gotten into the habit.
It's totally worth it to me, because I hate being so annoyed with bad formatting I have to quit reading and fiddle with the settings (which often doesn't help). Of course many people aren't fussy and can swallow any nonsense the formatting program has coughed up, so messing with the book code isn't worth it to them. Unfortunately I'm pretty fussy and can't just ignore things like huge margins/line height/text indents, spaces between paragraphs and so on.
