What I don't understand is why you would want to convert an InDesign document to epub? Why not go back to the original document to create your epub? It seems to me it would be easy enough and would yield a better product. The tools are free and fairly easy to use. To paraphrase Kipling: A printed page is a printed page, and an ebook page is an ebook page, and never the twain shall meet.

What format was the ORIGINAL work in?
That probably has the least (un-wanted) artifacts. That makes for the cleanest (code) conversion.


It also probably looks pretty drab visually without a typographers touch.
