Great! Go ahead and throw it up and see what people think. It'd be wonderful to make this easier for Mac users, since there's no BookDesigner on "our side" of the fence.

I really like the look of the output for pielrf. A few questions:
- Is it possible to add some extra vertical space before each paragraph; I like some air between paragraphs?

Not at this point. I'm pretty sure it's offered as an option, but I never implemented it. I'll double-check and add it after I get the next revision out.

- I can't get the bold functionality to work, and neither avoiding creating a TOC. pielrf logs that font weight 800 is used and that no TOC will be created, but neither of those are true...

Unfortunately, bold is not very bold. I loaded a set of mixed text onto the Reader, and there was very little discernable difference. If you do bold and increase the font size, that makes it more noticable.
On the "--without-toc" option, it's a little misleading as named. This suppresses the generation of the TOC
Menu, which is item #5 in the Reader's Navigation menu. However, it STILL generates a TOC page. I do not (yet) offer an option to suppress the TOC page.
Originally, I mishandled TextBlocks, and this would cause the Reader to slow to a crawl when loading some books that had a TOC Menu. So I added "--without-toc" for these slow-loading books. I've since fixed the TextBlock issue, but I left the "--without-toc" in.
