Make sure you validate the ePUB first, also-almost forgot! ;-)

P.S.: +1 for not using a wonderful cataloging tool, Calibre, to make ePUBs that you intend for professional/commercial distribution. It does what it is intended to do--library management--wonderfully. But it's really not a commercial or professional "bookmaking" tool.

Hope that helps.

I've used Sigil do do format conversions plenty of times. I've also then taken the resulting code and cleaned it up. Sometimes it's very easy and other times (with older Mobi) an be a real pain. But it's doable. In most cases, it's not worse then cleaning up after a typical Word RTF > ePub conversion.
