Considering all of the discussion concerning EPUB, it seems like much of the problem comes from trying to get it to do something that the format wasn't designed to do. An example of this is trying to not get a blank line between paragraphs in HTML, which led to the development of CSS to allow formatting control that HTML itself doesn't provide.

I'm struck by how complex it seems to be to do something in EPUB that was so simple in another format. As an example, in the .pdb format indenting the first line of a paragraph and not putting a blank line between the paragraphs is so simple, yet in EPUB it seems like a major task.
You can read about ePub 3 in our wiki. By .pdb I assume you mean mobi. Check our wiki. ePub uses a CSS file to do most formatting. Also see our wiki. Once you have a CSS you can use it in any number of documents to make it easier.
