Hi all

As a Sigil beginner, I would welcome comments on the workflow I am currently using for my travel guide..
I am using sigil to produce an epub document, for the kindle and apple/iPad markets.
I am previewing the epub in ibooks...easy....just importing the file.
For the kindle I am uploading the epub document in KDP, requesting the downloadable preview option and then exporting the downloaded .mobi file to my kindle, so as to preview it on the kindle itself, to get as close to the final user experience as possible. (Without of course going the final step to publish the document, before it is ready.)
Reading the forum, a lot of people are performing the epub to mobi conversion with a program called calibre, if I understand it right. Are there advantages to doing it his way? Does it exactly reproduce whatever fiddling and image compression etc. that kindle will inflict on it?

Thanks

Peter
