I've read of a number of cases were these sorts of eBooks with messy/bloated code has caused problems. I've even taken some of these problem eBooks and cleaned up the code and then using the same Reader/program/app, the eBook is able to be read no problem. So no, it's not being a purist. It's making the code clean so it works better. One thing I've never understood is why there can be more then 100 unused CSS entries in the CSs and HTML. What good does that do? It does no good at all. There are tools for removing unused classes, subset fonts, and remove crud from graphics (makes them smaller without the crud). Yes the publishers do not use these tools and prefer to make eBooks that are less than optimal.
