Excellent tutorial.

And then even when done properly it won't work on many older ereaders, because the companies took lazy Western-centric view. The actual OSes used had Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Hindi, Hebrew etc over a decade before dedicated ebook readers were developed. Amazon Kindle was one of the most backward.

Both Sigil and Calibre can be better for ebooks than expensive Indesign as it's fudged for ebooks, it was developed for PDFs and production of papers, magazines and technical books. Even for PDF novels a free Word processor can be better than InDesign.
