I do the same thing--convert to ePub straight away. I rarely look at the original eBook. I wouldn't have even noticed the horrible HTML/CSS if I hadn't opened an AZW3 by accident. It's pretty amazing how well Calibre cleans up everything. From there, I fix indents, margins, headings, etc... I find it quite satisfying.
