More on the topic of a ePUB support benefits
This is from the Adobe FAQ:

Converting InDesign documents for Kindle compatibility:
  1. Export InDesign document to EPUB
  2. Convert EPUB to alternative MOBI format
  3. Preview on Kindle device (optional)
  4. Upload to Amazon store

Note, the optional part of the recommendation. How would actually looking at a book prior to publication potentially impact the quality?

I consider this a a huge problem with eBooks ... a lot of them don't really have a publisher like a paper book would have ... just a dump computer script and Amazon just makes it worse by sticking to their own format.

They should do like Sony did and drop their own format and go full speed with EPub.
