Device: All 4 Kinds: epub eink, Kindle, android eink, NxtPaper
Docx (without headers,footers,line heights) -> calibre -> epub
Then a COPY and add page styles for front matter, contents, body, rear matter, headers, footers. Then direct export to PDF.

Indesign is a historic package, best suited to magazine/ newspaper and kludged for ebooks. Produces terrible CSS & HTML. Waste of money.

Now, for novels, LO Writer is superior to Word. Import docx ONCE and fix styles, headings etc and edit/save in ODT. Do an extra Save As in docx for Calibre.

I used Word from version 2.0a in 1990s to Office 2007 and up till 2014, then LO Writer on Windows.

Always do ebook before paperback and then you can proof text on an ereader and copy back annotations. About 5 to 10 min to make paperback PDF from odt version for ebook creation. Going the other way is harder.
