We need an editor. I'm sorry, but editing in one format and then non-natively converting to EPUB is not the answer. Too much could go wrong during conversion, and I just don't trust the process. If I edit my book by hand, my hand edited version should end up on the Reader, not the converted version with possible bugs or whatever.

Until that happens, I'm sticking with LRF.
That's exactly what Feedbooks is, it's just an online publishing tool instead of a desktop one. We process the file to make sure that the markup is 100% XHTML compliant and it's simple enough to use for anyone once you grasp the concept of dividing the book into separate elements rather than adding style to a single flow.
