Thanks for the help a few months ago, Doitsu.

I have now completed my first book - using Scrivener. However I have discovered that it has severe limitations in how it compiles the output. One major problem is that it cannot handle a Title and Copyright page (!)

If I compile the rest of the manuscript (80,000 words) with Scrivener, and omit a TOC and a cover and a title page and a copyright page, and output to ePub format, can I then import that ePub into Sigil and add those elements in a fairly straight forward way ? and then proceed to upload to KDP ?

I have been a web page designer in the past and am used to using Dreamweaver for example.

(I am assuming I can upload the ePub file to KDP as you say so in a comment above)
