Good to know about the stylesheet option. I haven't looked at the code for
the plugin; merely verified it did work. Also, I am using v. 1.0.1 from the
Wordpress site,
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/epub-export/installation/

Where can I get 1.0.2?

When I have the new version, I'll look at it in more detail over the next
few days and see if I have any suggestions.
