Hi,

there is no "automatic" tool to convert documents to ePub in a professional way.
There are some good tools to convert almost anything in ePub (Calibre) and to edit the ePub (Sigil) but professionals write the ePub by hand…
I'm writing an extension, writer2epub, that doesn't converts the OOo document, but creates an epub with professional look.
The difference between Calibre and W2E is that Calibre retains all the original formatting, while W2E use a "professional" formatting by superimpose a particular CSS. Moreover, the W2E code is easily readable and editable.

Anyway, the best solution is always to write epub by hand, in particular if you want a well formatted ebook and "special effects"
