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.
I entirely agree with you. I'm sure that better ePub conversion tools will appear in time - I know that Hadrien is planning to add such a service to his excellent "Feedbooks" site.
