@blackxacto - you must have an old version of calibre. The editor was introduced in mid Dec 2013 in version 1.15, current version is version 1.32

Latest downloads are here ==>> http://calibre-ebook.com/download

The editor is still being developed, its quite stable but its being enhanced continuously.

Probably depends on what sort of book. I doubt many use Sigil or the Calibre Book editor as the primary composition tool. Some would use a word processor, others a text editor, then there are writers tools like Scrivener, and desktop publishing programs like InDesign.

Calibre is primarily an ebook library manager that 'talks' to many of the book readers out there, of which there are dozens (hundreds maybe) and they all have propriety wrinkles and there are new models being released all the time with new features and foibles.

One of the main reasons Calibre now has an editor is because Sigil Development has been put on the back-burner.

Oh, You can use the calibre editor standalone - you'll find it at ebook-edit.exe in the install directory. You can also use it from within the library - via the 'T' kb short
