How do I switch from 2-page spread to ebook layout?

Question

I set up my book using a print format (half A5). When I export to epub it appears to be adding blank pages, which I assume is because my original format is a two-page print layout (please correct me if I'm wrong). So Chapter 5 document, for example, is only two pages, where the first is a single page and the second is one of a two-page spread. I've deleted all blank pages after that second page but this doesn't make any difference to the epub version.

Is this because my A Master is a double page? Because I've just deleted one side from the A-Master and it has not made any difference. In fact I've just noticed that my cover page also has a blank page before it. If not, how do I avoid these additional pages being printed in my epub?

I am in no way as knowledgeable as the people answering this, but I had the same issues driving me crazy. I fixed some of the blank page issues by correcting my original paragraph styles that for print were set up to start only on an odd page. Although that showed it removed blank pages, I still had blank pages popping up. After pulling out half my hair, I resorted to using the Articles panel, and the rest of the blank pages went away.
