Despite growing acceptance the state of the support of ePub is appaling: except EPUBReader and Azardi no reader software have decent HTML support and except EPUBReader no reader software has scripting support. That means if you will publish something more sophisticated than text with paragraph and image tags it will necessarily be displayed incorrectly in most ePub reader software.
While ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) has its faults it is much better than your dire message above. Calibre is also much better than you have indicated.
