Agreed, and I think it was a matter of accidental confusion, and the issue has now been resolved (to nobody's satisfaction), so can we all agree that to anyone who actually has an AZW3, and wants to edit it without worrying about css flattening or any other non-deliberate changes to the code, the calibre editor is is awesome and at least as useful as KindleUnpack?

And that some people may have reasons specific to their workflow which makes them prefer having an EPUB to start and end with, so that is neither here nor there, although it is indeed true that here too, calibe editor is a very nice alternative to Sigil except that it is still missing saved clips plus people are familiar with Sigil already...

And with that, since it turns out we all agree, and errors of miscommunication have been cleared up, can we stop arguing about nothing?

ohnoohnoohnoohnoohnoohnoohnoohno

And let us all remember that pedantry is dangerous and must be treated with kid gloves , because apparently without miles-high neon-red signs warning people, AND about just what exactly is being pedanted about (something noticeably lacking here) EVERYONE gets confused and starts arguing about the moon and green cheese, and things of equal logic and value.
