Pholy, I'm not advocating for Apple tools. I'm hoping there's a comparable alternative to produce epubs. I've looked at the ones featured in the forums and they are not comparable in features or design. The point of having alternate authoring tools is to avoid the lock in but if the current options are less functional, more costly, and difficult to use, the free tools from Apple are going to favor ebook production for their platform. If there exists a good alternative, surely someone on this site would be able to make a recommendation.
