We use INDD every day. We do NOT export ePUBs from it. That way lies madness, IMHO. I guess it looks fine, if one's background is paper, and s/he doesn't know coding, but...you do not get a viable ePUB, IMHO, from that.

FWIW.

The OP mentioned reflowable. And yes, Vellum came with a mass of conditionals and she added quite a few more for graphics handling to allow her books to look much the same on Kobo, Nook and Kindle devices. iBooks is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. "Why can't they just work the same?" in a plaintive voice.
