General workflow order. When processing new books into calibre, do you:
1. add books, then assess/convert/fix format, then download/edit metadata? or,
2. add books, then download/edit metadata, then assess/convert/fix format? or,
3. assess/convert/fix format outside calibre, then add books, then download/edit metadata?
