Calibre doesn't handle images very well. OTOH, PDF is the only ebook
format that can do images properly, without a lot of down and dirty
editing of the underlying formatting language.

Run some tests with SmashWords. For formats in which the output is of
acceptable quality, use them for the distribution.

SmashWord's conversion tool has some kinks that don't produce the
expected output, but it usually produces higher quality output than
using Calibre.

There are at least two ePub plugins:
# One of them relies on the internal HTML engine of OOo/LibO. Between
the invalid HTML output, and that that HTML is for a different version
of HTML, than that defined in ePub specs, it fails more often than it
succeeds;
# One of them has installation issues with LibO.  I don't know how well
it plays with OOo.
