The way I see it working is that tweak books will get replaced by a dedicated GUI, with the various functions like edit toc, polish books etc. available as wizards from within that GUI. The GUI will have an editor component to directly edit the html/css and wizards for re-odering/manipulating the spine, adding/deleting/renaming files and so on.

The various wizards will be based on the (already modular) components in calibre.

The actual editor component design is not something I have thought much about. Personally, I just use vim to edit epub or azw3 component files, so I dont have a good idea of what is needed.
