I have found that Book Creator can work extremely effectively with novels.

However, it is a a disaster with some non-fiction texts.

1. It keeps inserting a paragraph break after every colon. This ruins long sentences with subordinate clauses.
2. It inserts a paragraph break next to every quotation mark.

So a paragraph like this:

The older treatises on ethics (even that of Kant) used to have their “casuistries” and their “theories of the virtues,” where particular “cases of conscience” were studied in appendices to the systematic works themselves. The abstract and arbitrary character of such studies I have demonstrated in the course of other writings, showing the reasons why they were destined to vanish, as in fact they have vanished, from modern thought.
