However, every time I look in the Kobo forum, all I see are discussions about patches that sound too complicated for me and I get scared away. One of these days, I swear I am going to buy a Kobo. LOL

Whereas for me, the only patch I currently use on my Kobos is the unify font sizes patch so kepub and epub base font sizes are the same. I am fussy about my ebook layout but I feed that by editing the styles before sending the epub to my Kobos so the layout meets my needs.
So the efforts of those ebook creators who want to use half a page for the chapter title, create minimum left/right margins that look like those in a pbook, create paragraph styles that remind me of my old essays where double spacing was required, include massive dropcaps, mix indented paragraps with large gaps between paragraphs etc. are given the boot. About 95% of the work is done by my collection of saved searches in Sigil so the average time to fix an ePub is currently in the 5 minute range.
