Guess I will have to stick with txt for the funky formatted stuff.
It might be worth trying the epub firmware update as you can then use markdown on your plain text input file to achieve your required formatting. Calibre is fully markdown compliant and if you want to fine tune the output then you can amend the generated stylesheet.css file. I use markdown with .txt files to generate epubs for a Sony PRS-300 and calibre does a great job for me. You do need to spend a bit of time marking-down your input document but it's well worth the effort. (A text editor with good support for regular expressions is useful here.)
