Dear all, here are some poorly translated suggestions from a friend who tried the WS epub converter. He's a professional with epub and ebooks, so I trust him :-)
The problem is that I'm not sure at all if I translated well, as I don't understand what he says...

- there are imperfections in the css: * ex. in the td padding: padding: 0.2 em; the space between the value and the unity of measure can create problems in some ebook readers; * word-wrap:break-word; this is a CSS3 rule, I don't think it is used by ePub2...
* I would add a margin at the border or the page with the @page, or it could happen that the text goes directly to the border in the ebook readers... (especially at the top); * tables with <td style="width:100%"> have content that sometimes goes out the screen; * images (for ex. maps) are too small. 220 pixel on a 250dpi screen as the Kobo one means less than a stamp. I would go also with percentage measures to the screen dimensions, and not absolute ones.
A goog solution for image resolution issue could come from the excellent Template:FreedImg & Template:FreedImg/span by George Orwell III (into en.source) ande derived Template:FreedImg into it.source It loads full-size image (or a "large thumbnail"), then it resizes it at browser level, and width can be specified as percent of containing html box.
Some additional css is to be added to "ePub related" one and ePub rendering shold be tested carefully; I did this much time ago with a layman approach. ;-)
