I don’t edit my ebooks, with using KOReader I can set all which is important for me for reading.

I used to TRY to edit epubs in Calibre , but that sort of thing isn't really in my skill set.
I use CoolReader for non-library books. When a book is first opened, I go to CSS settings and uncheck the "enable document internal styles". Then the book displays with the presets I previously established. (Like left justify only, line spacing, paragraph spacing, font style and size, margins. Lots of stuff. ) I know a lot of people don't care much for CoolReader, and the app has some real shortcomings, annoying shortcomings, but I use it pretty much exclusively for my non-drm'd epubs. They look the way I want them to. And I don't have to struggle to edit them. |

If it's a book that I am likely to re-read in the future, I'll mark and fix typos. Then I don't have to kick myself for not doing it on the next read. Typos drive me crazy.
I'm less picky about formatting, unless it seriously gets in the way with an unreadable font, or inability to change font size or huge margins or something like that. |

I go over every book until it's as close to perfect as I can get it. The very occasional spelling error might be ignored.
