Indeed.
So I don't bother with saving and edit of HTML if making a website into an ebook for my own consumption.
I have a LO Writer template with small page, no header, no footer, no page numbers and styles that work in epubs.
I copy and paste from web page into LO Writer and often big chunks of body as "unformatted" (i.e. they'll use default body style).
I fix headings, lists, tables, images and links.
Delete any imported styles.
Save as native ODT for edits.
Make sure all images are jpg at 95% quality.
A last save as in docx.
Add to Calibre.
Convert to epub2.
Voila! Almost perfect epub. Maybe just some images need CSS edited to width <suitable >% and height auto.
Then lie in bed read & annotate about Lake District, Manannán or whatever big web page (or site(s), I may take many pages from one site or combine sites) on a Kobo eink. Much nicer way to do research of big subjects than on a browser. And I do have a "paper like" 4K 28" HDR display perfect brightness, contrast and room light.
