For the hassle with styles: what I'm usually trying to do is to export PDFs into RTFs and then into inDesign, but without losing any special formatting, especially the italics which usually ar ethere for a good reason. When I do that, I tend to get a whole bunch of styles with different names although they correspond to the same formatting. If my output is a PDF, all I have to do is change these styles into the ones I have predefined, it's a breeze. If I want ePub, I have to go around checking every single bit of italic and redefine that as well, which is too much work.
As for breaking the books into several files, that's the only way to get chapters to work, at least according to Adobe themselves.
