I want something that will do both.

Thanks.
An alternative is the shareware program Atlantis Word Processor. It may not be just what you want. There's a $35 registration fee and all it does is word processing, and it doesn't have all of Open Office's bells and whistles, but some professional writers enthuse over it and it has an option to save documents in ePub format for easy use on your book reader.

There is an ongoing discussion about it over here:
