The ebook creation in InDesign is a fudge. Originally it was DTP for paper only. It's also very expensive.
Use a decent Image Editor + Sigil for this.

Don't forget to use Calibre for lossless image compression. And before you use Calibre's editor for anything, turn off the automatic metadata updates in the editor. That should be off by default.
Load an eBook into the editor and then...
1. Edit
2. Preferences
3. Editor settings
4. Uncheck Beautify individual files automatically when they are opened
5. Integration with calibre
6. Uncheck Update metadata embedded in the book when opening
7. Click OK
8. Done
