If you want to make sale-able ebooks with complex formatting, you may want to use a program like Bookdesigner that gives more precise control. Calibre can give a lot of control, but it's through extra lines of coding; Bookdesigner has a GUI for its editing. However, it's not simple & quick to learn.

Or you can learn to hand-code ePub files. I'm told that once the basics are learned, it can go fairly quickly. For myself, I make a lot of 3.46"x4.57" PDFs, because I'm comfortable tinkering with formatting in Word, and haven't figured out HTML/CSS editing yet.
Book Designer won't make ePubs. However, a person could use it to make a lit file, then drop that into Calibre. However, I rather doubt whether it would meet the original poster's needs. Book Designer has some quirks and limitations which would undoubtedly irritate him.

Perhaps he had best hand-code his html then use Sigil for an ePub conversion.
