I've only edited the underlying ebook a handful of times, once when I ripped a Kindle book into a very old MOBI format and it didn't have a working ToC. I generated one by hand, just so I'd have useful navigation when I read the book on my Kobo.
I edit the cover (change the size if large enough and losslessly recompress) , I edit the CSS, I edit the HTML, I edit the ToC (if needed). I edit the metadata by hand (if needed). I edit the OPF (if needed).

As for Mobi, you'd be better off converting to ePub. Kobo does a rather poor job with Mobi.
