Pbook designs don't convert to ebooks well using any automated software. Such conversions are only a starting place. The designs need to be altered by an skilled designer to fit the abilities of the ebook formats and the reality of the available readers hardware and software.
I completely agree that ebooks need designing just as much as pbooks.

I disagree that ebooks should rely on a specific font for the body text.
