Quite apart from all else, it's a whole lot easier to proof in a Word doc than an epub.


The e-Book Tools - a Word add-in has a number of features specifically targeted at cleaning up PDF conversions, it can also create the EPUB, and fire up Sigil after doing so.

If I didn't already have Word I would buy it just so I could use this free add-in.
