Converted eBooks
I have only been editing ebooks for a year or so, to clean up my library, and am self taught. I am really only familiar with epub. I don't know the inner structure and workings of other formats like mobi or kfz (which calibre does not edit. why?), and when I once edited in AZW3, it was the same as editing an epub as I could not see any difference.
So a couple of questions:
1. Why, when converting from any other format to epub, is so much excess and useless code added? Looking through the css file, everything is "calibre_1, calibre_2" etc, and there can be upto 50 code styles, and most of them are the same or similar anyway. Then there is an excess of <span> throughout each xhtml page. There are even <spans> on the spaces between words. I can't imagine the original book was built this way. So why is there so much garbage code after conversion?
2. When using DeDRM, why does it automatically convert to mobi? How can you change it to convert directly to epub?
Is there any way, or better plugins to use that avoids the above?
