I work for one of the big three publishers, and while we use InDesign for physical book design, we have a special platform that parses the styles inside the final, fully copyedited INDD that goes to press, and turns it into an ebook later on in the production process.
So InDesign makes what eventually will be the ebook, but we don't use it to make the ACTUAL ebook, if that makes sense (we don't output ePub from the INDD file).
I'd only use InDesign if you want to have fun learning the bookmaking process—otherwise, it's kinda overkill.

Isn't that software a heavy-hitter in the publishing world?
Come to think of it, I'm kind of wondering why there isn't a Word forum also.
Just curious.
Should I try to learn InDesign, or should I stick with what I'm comfortable with? (Sigil)
