In Design is a tool to produce periodicals, text-books etc and is kludged for ebooks. Waste of money for ebooks and it can only be rented.
Word or Writer (final Save As in docx on Writer, edit only odt) exporting to Sigil or Calibre is actually better for novels as ebooks, then edit a copy for export to PDF for paper.
Sigil likely is better for complex ebooks than Calibre, but for a novel Calibre will take a docx and perfectly automatically map styles to CSS, automatically does TOC. all links/bookmarks/headings etc and then the only edit at all is of any images where width or height is a % of screen.
Even MS word has zero advantage over LO Writer + Calibre for novels. or LO Writer's PDF export for POD paper.
In Design is rented corporate Desktop publishing and for other than newpapers, magazines and specialist textbooks MS Word or LO Writer are now better than any DTP. It's a dinosaur.
