Steve, thanks for the information...very helpful. In the amazon.com reviews of Elizabeth Castro's book, the pans all mention that InDesign is an inferior product for creating ebooks (not so good CSS, etc.) and that Calibre and other products are better. Do you think there is any validity to this?

The Amazon.com negative mentions of InDesign are probably written by coders. They want to hand-code it all themselves. You'll see similar comments about Dreamweaver or any program that assists in creating code.
In fact, InDesign has continued to improve its EPUB export with every version since CS5, and will again in InDesign CC.
But if you get serious about it, you'll have to upgrade to a later version of InDesign than CS5, where many "hacks" and "workarounds" are necessary. And you'll have to learn a bit about editing CSS as well.
