IMHO, this tool is ideal for tech pubs departments and people who're simply not interested in fiddling with .html code. Everybody else is probably going to stick with InDesign/Sigil, because there's apparently no code view and no easy way to access/change the default .css stylesheets.

It could have been an interesting alternative for people who prefer easy to use ebook tools such as Jutoh ($39) or Atlantis Word Processor ($35), if it wasn't that expensive, and even the $99 Standard version apparently adds their "discreet banner," which isn't discreet at all.

I totally understand that the makers of HelpNDoc want to jump on the ePub band wagon, but for this price they'll need to offer more than just a generic ePub conversion of their standard output tools.

I'd strongly recommend developing a stripped down, more customizable and banner-free HelpNDoc ebook version with a more intuitive GUI at a more competitive price.
