Some of us are designers, not programmers... The Epub file format is becoming a standard, thousands of e-readers being sold and designers still having to do "Magic" like Mcgyver with three different apps and searching for CSS problems... in 2010?

Sigil and editing CSS is a pain: The workaround for creating a simple 300 pages Epub is not easy when the original text comes in .doc without styling, containing images and cells, but having to edit CSS in another software in a third step is far far far away from an optimized tool/system.

Hope Apple guys arrange their software soon (haven't said anything to my post in their support forum in a month's time), or hope Calibre becomes the final software for this, but it's not yet ready.

Ok, so we'll have to pay a programmer to try to solve the problem soon... If we solve it I'll let you know!

Thanks a lot mates.
