I have been writing using the calibre editor in Ubuntu. When finished, it is already in EPUB format for delivery to Amazon as an ebook. I use calbre's converter (click 'C') to make PDF version for upload to Amazon as paperback and hardback versions. I use Gimp to make the cover jacket. For the process of writing and editing itself calibre's snippets and .XCompose are my main tools. I became ever-so-interested in fancy word processors decades ago, leading up to 'desktop publishing' software. Now I've come back full circle to simple editing without so many features. Books are on Amazon under R J W Seddon
