I have seen quote a bit of argument against using a master document for a book as I was exploring this subject just recently as well. The help docs of course are a good place to start. https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Master_Documents_and_Subdocuments
There are a number of different tools for moving from LO to epub. There is the new eLAIX extension, Writer2epub, and you can also export as docxml and then use pandoc which will create epub3 docs for you. I used to use eScape but that is no longer supported, though it still works. The folk at infogridpacific looked like they were going to move it to an online service but it looks like that project was killed and that they are concentrating on their Digital publisher solution.
