Here I am checking on the status again... Thanks for your interest so far.

I have scheduled the following to be implemented in the Aspose.Words for Microsoft Word save as EPUB plugin to be done by the end of November:

1. Embed subsets of used True Type Fonts.

2. Investigate and support the ADE mobile specification.

3. Make font size resizing in the readers work. At the moment they do not work because we always export fixed font sixe, the way it is specified in MS Word. E.g. 10pt we export as 10pt and ADE does not seem to allow resizing this. It only allows resizing for relative font sizes I guess.

To answer some of the earlier questions:

Yes, to produce EPUB Aspose.Words converts the document into HTML internally, but it does so using its own HTML exporter, it is not using MS Word to convert to HTML so that's why the produced HTML can be a bit "cleaner" than if produced by MS Word.

Yes, Aspose.Words embeds all formatting as inline CSS on each paragraph etc. It is just one of the modes for exporting CSS formatting in Aspose.Words. There are three (inline CSS, embedded CSS stylesheet and external CSS stylesheet). We've defaulted to inline CSS, but I guess we can changed to embedded CSS stylesheet as it seems some of you do care.
