The point with preprocessing is there are a lot of documents where the publisher of the doc didn't do this, and you're stuck with a doc where chapter detection doesn't work. Preprocessing looks for different patterns in the doc. It starts with lines that say 'Chapter xxx', or similar common headings. If it doesn't detect any chapters it tries numeric headings, and lastly it looks for lines which are composed entirely of uppercase words. This approach can lead to false positives, which is why the help indicates that it could potentially screw up your conversion. In practice false positives are pretty low, and if it happens it's generally easier to fix one or two false positives than it is to manually mark up the whole book beforehand.
Did you actually try enabling preprocessing yet?

Does it recognize chapters on lines where the chapter number is Roman numerals (ie: Chapter XXIV) or do the chapter number have to be Arabic numerals?
