I apologize, I shouldn't have said crappy. I am aware that there are good tools available for creating and editing ePub -- I create ePubs from LibreOffice using writer2epub when I have to, and it serves my purposes well enough. And no, I am not determined to edit ePub with a text editor, I've just stated that I can't, and I prefer formats where I can. I simply do not see the advantages of the added complexity, compared to HTML (and ePub is more complex). And I've mentioned LibreOffice just as proof that book-sized HTML texts can be satisfactorily rendered. When I have a large text file that I want to read on my computer, I edit it, tag it, convert it to HTML (with my own tool), and read it in LibreOffice. When I want to read it on my ebook reader, I have to convert it to ePub, or I wouldn't have a TOC. Not much trouble -- just, as I've said, I do not see the advantage (though ePub with its smaller files and its built in TOC may be easier to handle by a device with small memory and slow processor?)
