I do zero tweaking in Calibre; everything is done when editing/making the book in Sigil. I use Affinity Designer to make the simple covers, which are merely black text on a white background.

I have to say your converting from ePub is not done in the most efficient way. By posting a dual-format Kindle eBook, you make it larger then it needs to be. Plus, given that the extension is .mobi, some people will think it's a Mobi format eBook. The best way to do it is to split the eBook into both KF8 & Mobi. This way, the preferred version can be downloaded and it will be smaller. Plus, it's easier to tell you are going a true Mobi if you choose the Mobi.
