Another reason for doing an epub -> epub conversion is to remove 90% of the file size. I get a lot of the Tor.com collections and they generally run upwards of 20Mb for the original epub. Running it through the conversion generally compresses it to less than 10% of that. I suspect it's down to each story in the collection being formatted differently, plus each story has an associated (uncompressed) jpg.

I very rarely go into the editor to fix things. When I do, it's usually to fix OCR errors from poorly converted pdfs (and other pdf conversion issues like page headers). Not having enough time to read as it is, errors have to be particularly bad for me to do this.
