Does anybody do this? I suppose I can just bookmark the page and then go back into the HTML to fix it. Also, I guess I could just make a backup of the HTML file, leave it running on the computer and use the computer's search and replace to fix it. I just feel like if I do read it again, I want it nice-looking

Anyone else?
Yes, all the time A lot of the books I've bought from Waterstones have no covers, and I like to have proper covers. So I strip DRM and bring them into Calibre for cover adding and any corrections I find as I'm reading (I have a little black book where I'll make a note if I find anything out of whack which I'll go back to in the html later and fix.)
