It’s not inherently more difficult to make an epub, than a pdf. It’s as easy as making a selection on your save-as. What is more involved is deciding how much of a PITA you want to make for your users/readers/customers. PDF is absolutely horrible to read. ePub has a few quirks but they are mostly because of the reading system not adhering to the standards. So you simply need to make sure your “process” creates the ePub file best suited to tame your target devices quirks.

Learning a different way to do things is inherently… different. Once you learn it, it should take no more than a couple minutes to create a good ePub. After awhile you can take a look at any level of code bloat created by automated software and get it cleaned up. It now takes me about 15-20 minutes to clean some of the most atrocious bloat and have an excellent ePub for my reader/device/app of choice.
