Aesthetics are still there; very much so. Epub is a pretty rich format. As you get into it, you will see lots of things you can do. For example, check out the epub version of J. K. Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" which you can find here:

You just have to think more like a web designer instead of a book designer.

On these forums you will find lots and lots of ideas and help.
