One author reently sent me a .docx file where they hit a return at the end of every line and did little else other marking a few words as italic. When I sent back the result of sucking the document into Sigil using the docx plugin and also doing a calibre docx to epub conversion, they were rather unhappy. My suggestion that they talk to the person who referred them to me and discuss using styles which the referring author has gotten very good at using drifted off into a "they will distract me from writing and it's your job to fix up the book" rant.

I wish a few youtubers would post tut videos on editing ebooks.
