Plus, you can do things in the editor such as lossless compression of the images, removing all unused CSS which can be hundreds of unused classes. Also you can error check using the Calibre checker and epubcheck. I read of others having problems because of eBooks with errors. By being able to check for errors and fixing them, you have less chance of any issues with your Reader.

After you set up the Preferences for Convert, then you will eliminate all the manual steps you've described above. Plus, you can do many things by converting, if you know how to set up the Styling and Transform sections in Common Options. As I've said before, I make many changes (improvements) by doing a simple Modify_ePub and Convert to each ePub file I process, which takes just a few seconds for each ePub.
I've been doing everything automatically (as I described above) for several years and have saved tons of time by not doing all the things you listed manually.
