Cool Any point in getting Linux-savvy?

I have a fairly large reference book, produced with Sigil on Windows 7. I have the .epub file saved on a flash drive. It could do with a maintenance release.

I know Sigil has versions that run on both Windows and Linux - but this would be true (in a rather limited sense) if it was possible only to originate a book on either platform. But is it possible also to read sources, initially produced on one platform, with the other version of Sigil? Will the file formats need any kind of tweaking?

I'd prefer in the long run to work on Linux, but will it be necesssary- for purposes of maintaining sources initially produced on Window - to maintain a Windows machine (or partition on a dual-boot machine) just for that?

(I was going to just try it and see; when I used Sigil two years ago [on 0.2.0] it looked easy. I went to the download site and there were links for Windows, Linux, and Apple. But it doesn't look so straightforward now - and I wonder if a significant learning curve is going to be worth the effort.)

Thanks for any advice.
