Personally as fiction reader I do not require a full EBook Writer. I do need an import from various formats, a toolbox to fix-up ebooks (a combination of E-Tidy to clean up the source and a simple paragraph tagger as provided by BookDesigner (Title, author, header and paragraph) and to finalize the good work an export.
As former DTP-er I have experience reformatting input documents into proper books and I experienced that most novels only need some basic text-tags and cleaning:
BookTitle, BookSubtitle, Author, Header, Footer, New page, Chapter Title, Chapter Subtitle, Chapter sub-sub title, paragraph, indented paragraph
Cleaning:
Transform all beginning spaces into tabs,
remove all tabs when preceded by a CR
Quote marks -cleanup
thus most fiction books are fairly simple.
