It's easy enough to remove the content.
That's brilliant, Jon, thanks! What I usually do is make the epub from scratch and then get rid of the html cover for Amazon. Then I'll end up adding stuff to the backmatter (over time) and keep track of the changes. So what I'll do is I'll take the last version of the previous book and use that as the template. So the CopyrightPage, Stylesheet etc will be in there already. I'll have to change out the title, metadata and a few other things, and then import the .html file (with the new book) and then format that a little bit and presto I should be good to go. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks!
