What makes epub difficult to work with is that there is a great lack of good word processors which allow you to create epub books. Sigil is one that I have used in the past, but it is far from the user-friendly interface you would have with the traditional office word processor. You have to constantly switch between text and html mode and constantly do manual tweaking to get everything the way you want. If you have ever done web development, you will see that getting everything aligned and formatted perfectly to be accurately viewable across multiple platforms can be a tiring task. The same can be said for getting pictures and text appropriately aligned in Sigil. Word documents give you much more flexibility for formatting and aligning your text and pictures than Sigil or other epub software I have tried.
