I haven't played with Epub because I don't want to do another coversion of 1000+ books (and learn another formatting language) to convert to the lastest whiz-bang. Does Epub allow easy, simple word processor, fixing?

In my experience (and I don't have much at the moment) creating my own works I've been using this stepthrough method.
Scrivener > HTML segments (chapters etc) > Textmate (cleanup add TOC) > Calibre (css overide for any effects etc)> ePub
Once the ePub is created you can explode it by renaming the extension to .zip, inside you'll find individual HTML files (in the OPS folder?) corresponding to chapters and the like which can be edited as you would any other HTML. Now, all I've got to master is the re-zipping part
