Can anyone give me some direction. Note: you are talking to a person who does not know a whole lot of computer language (and is feeling quite lost as I read a lot of posts on this forum), so, as I would truly appreciate some guidance, please go gentle on computer lingo.
If you want to write your book in the ePub format could I suggest that you post in the ePub forum? There is at least one sticky which describes a step by step process.

For what it is worth I use an HTML editor, and then put the documents into a template I've developed. Other people seem to use Sigil, which has its own forum.

Regards, Alex
