I also hate fiddling with the settings on my ereaders every time I open a new ebook and so my ebooks all have uniform font size/margins/line height.
I know the majority of ebook readers don't care about such things and probably don't even notice them. Some of us do, though (I'm not the only MR member who edits the css and formatting of their ebooks). To each their own.

Fair enough I guess, and as you say, each to their own.
I'm certainly fussy enough about other aspects, hence why I have created a few complimentary programs for calibre, to tweak metadata etc just how I like. And I've certainly taken a few ebooks apart using Sigil, due to some issue that irks or annoys. And I've also replaced the default covers of many ebooks, that weren't what they were showing on the web page when I bought them, or I just don't like them because they have bad TV show covers etc. I've even developed software to deal with missing covers on many of my Kobo ebooks.
