EPUB is an HTML file, or a set of HTML files, with some metadata attached, in a ZIP container, with the extension changed to EPUB. There is no "convert to ePub" without "convert to HTML." Aspose may not use either of Word's HTML conversion processes but it has to convert to HTML somehow. (I suppose it could convert to XML instead of HTML, but the same issues exist--how much of Word's unnecessary repetitive paragraph-level coding does it keep?)
