3/ In my case, is it better to use a software (Mac OSX only) to create the epub and other formats, or to create the xhtml files directly?

4/ I heard about Blio by Baker & Taylor but can not find any info or demo of their reader. Any suggestion?
I would first try exporting as ePub from the InDesign files, and then cleaning it up in Sigil. Don't bother changing the aspect ratio in InDesign.

I've heard of Blio, but I have no idea how efficient their conversion will be. In general, automatic conversion from PDF isn't brilliant.
