For multichannel publishing it is a must to keep your data in semantically
rich form. I strongly recommend switching from non structural macros to
self-validating XML markup (DocBook, DITA). This 'Single Source Publishing'
approach opens new possibilities. Besides ePUB (you can convert/degrade it
to MOBI in Calibre) and PDF you can get a lot of other outputs
out-of-the-box (Webhelp, CHM, JavaHelp, LaTeX, ConTeXt, ...).

But to be honest, both setting up and customizing the workflow require a
specific skill set so it is IMHO not well suited for 'urgent' projects...

Btw, there is a special user group with many related topics on linked.in:
