Both WebWorks ePublisher and RoboHelp can create ePub format if you have 
access to those tools.

I've never had much luck with Frame's direct HTML output, you might want 
to see if you can get your hands on MIF2GO which does a much cleaner job 
of generating HTML.

You might also find this book helpful - it's only $3 and has much useful 
advice: How to Format Your eBook for Kindle, NOOK, Smashwords, and 
Everything Else, by Paul Salvette.
