Fortunately, yes, we have calibre.  |
Conversion settings often save editing
I convert every added epub to epub automatically removing white-space and line-height in CSS as neither of those is appropriate for ebooks.
The Gutenberg files also have smarten punctuation, remove space between paragraphs adding 1.3em indent and usually full justify.
