Indeed, that is also one of the helpful uses of Book View.
You could either copy/paste one chapter at a time, or concatenate and paste the entire text file into Book View. That should get you the very basic <p> tags, then you could work from there.

It definitely isn't normal to have such a delay between keystrokes. Do you have a wireless keyboard? Does it happen in any other programs?
And which plugin are you talking about exactly?

Mechanical keyboards can be quiet. Just avoid getting the super loud clicky ones (like MX Blues)!

There are plenty of tools for all OSes. And you can always find ways to run other tools if needed (like using Wine in Linux to run a ton of Windows stuff).

Could be because of the initial in a blank document:
Code:
<body>
<p> </p>
</body>
When I copy/pasted this post from Notepad++ into Book View, it kept it:
Code:
<p> blahblahblah</p>
but one of the first steps I ever do when I work on a book is convert any and all -> normal spaces.
