On the ePub creation front…

Meanwhile things are progressing on the ePub creation front.

The Atlantis word-processor recently added ePub creation, even for people who aren’t HTML geniuses, and now a new ePub editor has come out in Alpha: Sigil.

Sigal is “free and open software under GPLv3” for Windows, Linux and the Mac; and it offers such goodies as WYSIWYG and import TXT, HTML and existing ePub files. See post and forum on the MobileRead site. Meanwhile click on the image to the right for a more detailed view of an ePub book created with Sigil.

For latecomers: TeleRead helped bring ePub about. Jon Noring and I created a group to push the OpenReader standard, which in turn spurred the IDPF to do ePub to avoid being preempted. For years the IDPF had put standards on the back burner. The last thing we need is a repetition of the past apathy.
