We've also hit the classic converter vs editor debate. As a perfectionist, I want the text I edit in whatever editor I use to end up exactly that way in the format I want. Converters can't guarantee you that. They could change some minor things, and they usually do. If I go to hours upon hours of trouble to proofread a book I've scanned (for personal use), I do not want to have to go through it all again. The editor should be the last line of defense: when you get the text right there, it should end up that way in the resulting file. IMO, at least.

I do plan on using a wide variety of open source code to create all the other parts of the application. Like for instance wxWidgets for that native look-and-feel on all platforms.
