I'd usually paste the HTML into LO Writer, fix styles, save odt, extra Save As docx and add docx to Calibre and convert to epub.
Gives perfect results.
I might paste special as "Unformatted text" if a website is really bad, or even paste into KATE and run regex fixing and then paste to LO Writer. I used Notepad++ for years and find KATE similar but better and more featured than stock editors on my Linux Mint + Mate.
I always convert to epub2 first, then I'd remove the docx and only use epub for conversion source to other formats, because I might hand edit any CSS for images (Either width some % and height auto or vice versa).
