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.
I get the look I want using calibre and EPUB -> EPUB conversion. 2 mouse clicks and done.
