Actually, Calibre is very good at creating a usable ePub format. there
are some things that do need modification to pass the standard
validity tests but we have a number of Calibre generated ePub books
out in the marketplace.

Like any of the conversion programs, there is not one (that we have
found anyway) that does not need some kind of handholding and cleanup
or tweaking afterward.

We have found some really slick tricks to prepare the file to get the
results we want. And once we get our input file to go through Calibre
to create the ePub to our satisfaction then that file is pretty much
good to go through any other conversion program or format with little
to no additional work.
