I tried using Calibre to make ePub versions of two books. Both crashed the Reader and caused it to reboot. I can't code XML (at the time, and don't expect to have time to learn for at least the next 9 months). And I've never been able to decipher the command line stuff in Calibre.
So for me, ePubs are in the category of "wait until the bugs are worked out".
This is not meant to be a complaint against Calibre, not at all. It's just an acknowledgment that certain aspects of this tool are currently outside of my skill set! And I would expect the original poster would have to look at his own skill set to decide whether ePub is really a better choice for him (yet) or not!
