I didn't know this, thanks!

If you're digitizing an existing book, you could save a lot of time copying and pasting using:

• Lexilogos Ancient Greek Keyboard Online
  
• Online Betacode Converter (It's a German site, but the usage is pretty much self-explanatory: enter Betacode and click Hui!)

As for the display, I like Galatia SIL, which is relatively small and features all required glyphs as regular and bold characters.

(No font embedding is required for Kindles, because the default fonts support all accented Greek characters.)

BTW, Sigil's RegEx engine supports searching for characters by Unicode script name; therefore it's relatively easy to search for all Greek characters and wrap them in <span> tags.

Find: ([\p{Greek}| ]{2,})
Replace: <span class="greek">\1</span>

Because of the very simple design of the RegEx, it'll also match spaces immediately before and after Greek text and double spaces, but it's still much faster than manually marking up Greek text.
