I remove left/right margins, unusual base font size, spaces between ordinary paragraphs, line height, embedded base font and change the paragraph indents to 1em. I also delete ads and excerpts from other books. Sometimes I fix the TOC.

I use the calibre editor to do this, not Sigil. And usually it takes a few minutes per book.

Of course I also fix the metadata - title, author, series info, synopsis, cover.
