Everything starts life as an InDesign file and ends up as an enhanced epub, with read-aloud narration and highlighting, interactive popups, etc.
The IT department, near as I can tell, has draconian security measures in place that interfere with (among many other things not related to ebooks) the ability of the e-reading platform to correctly access obfuscated fonts, so the final step of every epub workflow is de-obfuscation.
The books are also not displayed as you'd expect; the covers, for instance, are served to the user by a content management system, so it probably doesn't even matter whether the epub files have covers in them.
