For me, a cover is something you page past to get to the book. I don't browse by cover or show it anywhere. So even Gutenberg covers don't annoy me too much.
I never de-DRM a book. It's not moral inhibition, I just can't be bothered. For horrible CSS (I'm looking at you Duke, the publisher with the stupid dog) I just use the "nuclear option" and delete all (still encrypted) CSS files from the zip (epub).
The one book I did edit was the Gutenberg Shakespeare. The TOC was a train wreck. I offered my cleaned up Play/Act/Scene TOC to Gutenberg but they insisted on using their automatic TOC generator running off <h1><h2><h3> on very mixed sourced plays.
