Styles like p.x01-FM-Ad-Card-Head show the eBook was made with InDesign.

One thing I notice with a lot of eBooks made with InDesign is that some of the font sizes are just odd and not correct. In the last InDesign ePub I cleaned up, some subtext was made with a size of (roughtly) .77em. That's just too small. There's no need of it.

What works in terms of font sizes doesn't always work in ePub. Also, the headers being 1/4-1/2 down the page is ridiculous for eBooks. What I think needs to be done is once the book is said to be finished, the eBook edition needs to be slip off and fixed up to remove the print book things that do not work in an eBook.
