Alex Fernandez, you have your work cut out for you! Before telling you way, let me just say you did a real good deed creating eLyXer. You made styles-based HTML authoring, and therefore eBook authoring, much easier. And I notices when I use LyX's own HTML converter, I get eLyXer messages :-)
But to those whom much has been given, much is expected, so you're not done yet. LyX plus eLyXer plus a few other tools can make the PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT authoring tool for flowable text eBooks (Kindle, iPad, etc). I just tested my soon to be released Kindle book, "Rules of the Happiness Highway", on Kindle's Kindle Previewer, and it worked perfectly except for the features I didn't put in (TOC, Index, chapters, frontmatter -- it's a short book). The book was authored in LyX and converted with eLyXer and Kindlized with Kindlegen. There needs to be a way to insert all info needed by Kindle into the LyX file, and having eLyXer or other similar executables do things like split out the chapters, split out the table of contents and index, make the .opf file and the .ncx file. It might require a special layout file -- I can create that. Or maybe just layout modules. I'm sure Rob Oakes and I can provide plenty of info for what is needed to create a Kindle book, and lots of feedback and testing. I might be able to write some of the code. LyX is the fastest and most enjoyable authoring environment. With a few additions to eLyXer, that fastest and most enjoyable authoring environment can be used to write flowing-text eBooks. Alex, you've got your work cut out for you. I'll try to help.
