epub editor for android (does it exist ? )

Nick_1964 · 11-15-2013, 10:32 AM

I hope this is in the good section of the forum, can't find another one that would fit.
I am looking for an epub editing software for android.
With total commander for android I have to rename them first to zip, making it a lot of hassle.
Why do I need it ?
I can connect my Kobo reader to my advent tegra tab, and edit the books if needed, but I can't find a good editor to do it.
I need to adjust the .css files and things like that.
Now I always have to go to my computer to edit them, while hooking up to my tablet is so easy to make a quick change.
Sigil is not available for android ( as far as I know) but an app that can do the same would be great.
So if someone knows a program that can do this, please ?

Sigil is actually the only pure EPUB editor I know. (As in, an application that opens, saves and creates pure EPUBs, not a word processor with EPUB export possibility.)

I've taken a look in the play store, but the only EPUB stuff I find there are applications that can read it, not edit it.

Yes, that is what I found out too, but there are a lot of programs that are not in the playstore, so I was hoping for something like that ..

I wanted to proof read epub3 on android, most readers allow you to highlight, is there a reader that allows text changes?

There is a program called Book Creator.

They are discontinuing the android version in favour of Chrome version, but the online chrome only allows import from Bookcreator files, seems a little restrictive, any others?
