(Here is the thread I was referring to Edit Ebook)
I never learned Sigil - wasn't really brave enough to try it because the only things I really change are removing matter, like you, or creating splits or line breaks when the original didn't do it well - I was usually able to accomplish this in Tweak Book but you couldn't see your results until you re-packed the book, which sometimes meant unpacking and repacking multiple multiple times (at least for me). Now you can see changes right away, which I like.

Books don't really have to be perfect for me to enjoy them - but I do get annoyed when chapters run together, etc. So the basicality and ease of access of Edit Book will make me a happy reader Or maybe it's not the basicality (since apparently it goes beyond basic in functionality) but the ease of use for editing dummies that will make me happy happy happy - sort of like an Editor for Dummies...
