InDesign is now expensive rental and better suited to paper publishing by Corporates. Even for Corporate users it's pointless compared to MS Word or LO Writer for a straight novel to PDF.

Thanks. I’ll look into LO Writer for the Mac. Recently had to use Google Docs for document sharing, but ran into many odd formatting quibbles that made extra work for me. Even if LO Writer doesn’t do cloud sharing per se, I might have need for a lean WP. I currently work in Scrivener. But your workflow fascinates me since I want to include my Elipsa in the proofing and editing process.
As for InDesign, I prefer Vellum for outputting mss. I don’t mind it’s templates, and it produces clean, compatible documents that match the preview for the intended devices.
