Not sure I'd characterise my posts as suggesting "all". My first post merely suggested that you might try doing the "to epub" step using LibreOffice. The second post mentioned that I do it all in LibreOffice but was not supposed to indicate that I expected you to - that is going to depend on the requirements of your non-fiction publication. However, I do stand by the idea that keeping your toolchain as short as you can is a good thing (unless you also want to publish a book called "the making of my book"
).

It took me a long while to get comfortable with OpenOffice (before LibreOffice) - from my WordPerfect days - but mostly I get along okay now. You might find that someone has built WordStar key support for LibreOffice if you were tempted to go down that path - chances are that you're not the only one with fingers wired that way.
