I saw that thread...long and intimidating! lol.

Personally, I keep it very simple:  I copy the document (cut & paste or 
type) into LO Writer.  I only use the following paragraph styles 
'Default' or 'Text Body' and Heading 1, 2, 3 for chapter headings.  
Occasionally, I'll use a quotation style as required. All edits are done 
in a fixed-width font for readability and editing (I prefer Courier Prime).

Footnotes are always end of chapter if I use sections and a master 
document, or end of document (which is easier to manage, IMO, since I 
don't have to mess with a master document.  Some long and complex books 
with lots of footnotes get the master document treatment, with each 
chapter having its own section.

When finished with the input and review, I change Default Paragraph, 
Text Body, and Heading fonts to 'Times New Roman'.  I don't use the 
writer to epub plugin...since I've had bad luck with it.  Instead, I use 
Calibre to convert from .odt to .epub.  The good thing about Calibre, is 
I can keep the .odt file IN the calibre library for edits later on (if I 
find an error, etc), and just convert it to epub again as required.  
Very simple.
