Thanks so much, folks! Another quick question. When I'm running ebook-convert, it seems to take a huge amount of time "Removing fake margins..." Is there a way to skip that step?

Relatedly, it appears that it's first converting the ePub to HTML and then converting the HTML into Mobi. But the ePub is already a big zip of HTML, isn't it? Would it save time if I generated HTML directly? (If so, would I generate a single enormous 200MB HTML file, or would a collection of HTML files work?)
