Given the last book I modified would have required 28 page turns to get to the epigraph, it's worthwhile for me to do this while doing my usual cleanup on any new books such as removing references to fonts that are not found on ereaders without embedding them?

The difference is that I get rid of extra crud meaning any embedded fonts I don't need/want as in Next Reads and the fonts that go with it from Penguin Random House eBooks and any excess graphics. I also modify a few other things like getting rid of excess CSS and making the margins to 0 and normalizing the font sizes where needed. I also losslessly compress all the graphics. I also make sure cover is the first NCX entry. I then validate. I don't have strange issues with validated eBooks.
