Seems better to export only the text, but I suppose it is a lot more work for the layout?
Once you figure out search and replace even plain text is usable. Often the paragraphs are separated by a blank line so you can search for two end-of-lines and replace that with a close p and a start p. Starting with html is generally less work but it may require cleaning out stuff that's not needed.

And I did not know it is better to know HTML and CSS (which I know a little) to make good ePub.
You can think of ePubs as web pages that are inside of an ePub container. (I make each chapter a separate xhtml file because the ereaders start a new page at the end of the files.) So you definitely need to know HTML and CSS, but as I said before, the helpful web sites for HTML and CSS also give lots of information that's only useful on web sites.

To begin, I don't want to have some personal fonts, only to use what is provided by the devices. Maybe it will be siample that way?
It won't be less work if you don't use personal fonts, and it's best to not use them in any case.
