I want to be able to highlight passages and add notes using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I will be the only person ever to see the ebook.

What's the fastest and easiest way to create an epub for Kindle? Saving the *.docx file as text would require a day or three of plodding through this 248-page, single-spaced document just to add the paragraph tags. There must be an easier way, but what is it?

Thank you! - Dan Ford
Use the calibre ebook-editor File->Import an HTML or DOCX file as a new book feature, save the EPUB and try it on your Kindle Fire. Edit as necessary with the calibre editor or the one you already know - i.e. Sigil.
