YOU and the calibre editor is all (and a few hours to LEARN basic HTML code) that is needed.
It takes me less than 5min to 'touch up' most EPUB to my liking.
NOTE: I do NOT just totally remove publishers styling. I love subtle differences in the
look of my books.
0) I check for code errors (debug) and correct ERRORS (the red). It is
how many I find. Naked text with the TAG set alongside
just incompetent.
1) I set a standard BODY style (and remove a
whole body DIV)
2) I remove the font size,face... for standard P text (It will use the BODY spec for the bulk of the book
)
3) I REDUCE any wasteful top/bottom margin over 5%. (I do try to proportion my change to match) margin-top: 30%
4) Clean out UNUSED CSS rules using the tool included in the Editor
(Optional adds a few more minutes)
5)Embed fonts called for, but not included or supplied by my device. (I do like
pretty books ) Replace fonts that do not render well on e-ink
6)Reduce ridiculous HiRes fleuron image resolution. Its a decoration
, not a 10 foot masterpiece
7)Revise the <IMG tag , when it is the same image appears in multiple Image files (and clean out the excess files)
These are the common tasks I do. Automation (conversion) can't clean to these levels.
