I don't have much experience with print books, but going through a .txt file (as you and rube both say) after having the book in Word sounds like a good idea when focusing on ebooks.

When you go from Word > InDesign > EPUB, does InDesign get rid of all of the garbage that Word generates? Or is the resulting EPUB still filled with tons of inline styles? Because that's one thing I try hard to avoid.
