Does Sigil make sense for ePub curation, were the original epubs are from various sources and of various formatting? My main goal is to have an ePub library with uniform metadata and preferably uniform formatting (with a newline between all paragraphs).

I do not care much about pictures or other things, basically I just want to make sure all ePub books are the same. This is more of a personal quirk, but it is important (I do the same manual curation for my personal iTunes library for example)

Also, maybe this is better served with a script of some sort. I am still unfamiliar with working with ePub formats, but perhaps there is a way to simply extract the text from some original ePub and then dump that text into a new, curated ePub file? Perhaps I will have to know these things regardless of working via sigil or scripting it via python or other lang.

Any help appreciated.
