Love that plugin....

Then I fix the metadata, export the book (the original one and the EPUB), and stash that copy away as original.
Now I delete the non-EPUB format if there is one.
After that, I clean up the book by running Modify EPUB, do things like fixing covers and CSS where necessary, and after I'm done, I move the book or series to my main library. There, it will have its pages counted, be hyphenated, polished to put everything from the database into the book, and then it'll be converted from EPUB to AZW3 (as I have a Kindle).
In this workflow, I can treat an entire series as one book, except for fixing covers and CSS of course, but those are small fixes most of the time, assuming the book is marked up correctly. It's one reason why I always buy an entire series at once.

It's what I do now but when I first started I kept all the formats
and didn't know about the polish plugin so I decided it was time to go back and fix all the old ones
and so the fun began lol
