Now, I'm not sure if you've tried this much, but Calibre does a pretty good job of fixing a lot of the formating problems with books if you tell it to convert to epub, and tweak the settings to your liking (for instance, I tell it to remove extra lines after paragraph and add a 1.5 em indentation to each paragraph). This can be a great first step for the epub editing. After that, I've quite liked using Sigil to tweak the books into the perfect formatting.
Do you mean you edit Calibre created epub in Sigil?
