And that's assuming I don't open the epub in Sigil and start fixing stuff by hand anyway. So many poorly constructed and formatted epubs out there, so little time!
ePub > ePub via Calibre rarely turns out well. Sure, there are cases where it does. But in the case of most publisher ePub, it turns out poorly. Better off fixing things by hand.
