Essentially, I think most writers want to write in something even simpler than HTML, like we all do on the web. There's no reason writing for EPUB distribution can't be as simple as writing for wordpress, or whatever this forum software is. |
For what it may be worth, I do some work for local authors. I take their word processor output, convert it to ePub with formatting for headers, text messages, etc., do some basic checking for spelling and grammar errors. I finally check the ePub and KFX/azw3 output on several apps and devices. To them, their word processor (Word, LO Writer, etc.) is their writing tool.
While most of them have learned (or being honest, been forced to learn
) to use styles with their word processor which makes the conversion a lot simpler, only one of them has shown any interest in the nitty-gritty of ePub internals.
