No, you don't.

You have an expectation of error-free content, and like to mix things up (very likely lowering the eBook's typographic quality even lower than it was to begin with) by changing its various settings and fonts, even if that means the file would display with what is an indisputable error (e.g.: page numbers overlapping text) on a number of current generation eBook reading devices.

That's not professional. That might as well be the very definition of not-even-amateurish-yet.

Ps.: I don't mean you are not-even-amateurish-yet, I mean the objective quality of eBooks in general, and seemingly also the eBooks specifically of the form you prefer.
