I’ve done it. Handy when you want to read a book now and you’re away from your computer.

Most of the PD ones need: space removed from between paragraphs, smarten punctuation, etc. I do that automatically as I add to Calibre.

You’re confusing “need” with “preference”. I have never edited an ebook for formatting. I’m not very fussy and if the formatting is so very bad I can’t tolerate it, I read something else. It’s not something I tend to run into anymore, except in rare cases when a PDF has been converted to epub.

I've now about 6,000+ unread PD on my Kobo

See? Now that
I find excessive. I don’t want 6,000 books on my Kobo. I want a largish selection of high priority books and it generally runs between 200 and 250 books. Which would be a couple of years’ reading, if I didn’t read anything else. Which I do. So that’s plenty. When I don’t know what I feel like reading, I can scroll through a somewhat limited number of highly appealing books and see what jumps out at me.
I personally don’t see the point of huge backlogs of books that will never be read and I admit I’m a sinner at that, but I’ve mostly reformed. Just makes it harder to find the gems amid the dross and time spent formatting and curating is good reading time wasted.
Yeah, different strokes. All I’m saying is that don’t dismiss out of hand an option for someone else that doesn’t appeal to you, unless there is truly something inherently wrong with it.
