Tina,

NOTE: I work for WebWorks.

There are various options available to you.  It may come down to a 
trade-off of time versus money.

WebWorks ePublisher can create ePUB books from FrameMaker sources.  It 
runs $795 for a renewable license (1 year of use and support).  You can 
format the ePUB book with ePublisher's Style Designer.

Other options may exist, though you might have to spend more time 
creating the ePUB books than would be worth the effort.
