The first macro then takes the highlighted book and opens it in Editor. It then performs a number of actions in editor (prettify, mend HTML, smarten punctuation, remove unused css, compress inages, and runs check check book).

It then waits for a hot key to be pressed, which allows me time to correct any errors Check Book has found. I then press the hot key and the macro saves my changes and closes Editor and returns me to library view.
The macro thing is cool, I’ll just mention that the Polish books function does a lot of that with a simple click as well. It may not do everything you want, but it might help with at least part of your workflow.
