Dealing with clients who have come directly from enjoying themselves in an orgy of PRECISELY spacing every line of a printed version is one thing. But when writing from scratch, always think structure, not appearance.
Write your book in Word, with consistent use of paragraph and heading styles, it will convert perfectly to EPUB and then on to Kindle with a clean, clear, readable layout. Heck, if you use the Footnotes feature in Word properly, it will even translate with automatic jump-links! Drop it into InDesign, you'll get a great-looking print layout. But the more you fuss over layout in the original, the more trouble you'll have.
