Both addons focus on cleanly exporting the actual words of the book, and the styles you applied to sections, while tossing the junk that invariably creeps in when using a pure WYSIWYG editor.

Experiment a little and find what works best for you!
This one of yours has been wearing on my mind a bit. The way I've often done ebooks is to start in Word, save as html (in Word still),then put the html in a text editor and clean it up there before putting it in Sigil. Now you're saying that I'll get a cleaner save with Writer2Epub. But what am I "losing" if I save (now it would be in LibreOffice and an odt-->html) as an html? Writer2Epub focus on cleanly exporting "the actual words." Well, what is the odt-->html focusing on? Thanks.
