Care to be more specific? ePubs are packaged XHTML -- how much they look like a book is surely going to depend on how well the CSS (styles in an ODT) are made to look bookish, and I wouldn't want my converter messing with my styles.

There is no catch -- you can test it first, without paying. You'll get a truncated version of the output.
I tried one, and it didn't give me a trial document. I uploaded an ODT file, but got a 404 file not found error when I tried to download the trial result. The "ePub validator" window said:

I was able to get a perfectly useable "book-looking" ePub from both calibre and 2EPUB from the same file.

Therefore, it's hard to validate your claims. Perhaps I'll try another file when I get a chance.
