Yes the epub or mobi file is placed in your project folder when you click 'compile'. A simple Compile complete/succesfull dialog box would be handy, I agree (but its shown in the log).

I know what you are saying bizzybody but nothing is perfect! This program is so much easier to use when defining chapters than Calibre (for me anyway), and the other alternatives are Adobe Indesign which not many of us can afford or learning to make epub files by hand which would be very time consuming.

I am going to send a quick email to the author to tell him to add in the help file that epub/mobi files are saved in the project folder ('using ecub' section) and to think about creating a compile finished/ok dialog box so we now that its done.

I found that the 'Launch' button executes whatever external program you have assigned to use *.epub files on your system. If you have none set then nothing will happen. Again a dialog box would be handy giving an error message no external viewer found etc.

Btw if anyone is saving their pdf's to text files this is a handy online tool to remove line breaks and still keep paragraphs intact. http://www.textfixer.com/tools/remove-line-breaks.php. It just means that text word wraps properly to the edges of your window. Perfect for importing into ecub.
