Using Calibre and Scrivener...?

[MarjaE]

I'm looking for an accessible word processor.

Unfortunately, I have neurological problems that give me trouble with LibreOffice on the Mac, OpenOffice on the Mac, Pages, etc. And I need to do things, such as sort lists and fix certain broken formatting, which I can't do in Bean or Textedit. Scrivener looks like one possibility, but it's built around a specialized use-case where it brings related files into each project folder. Obviously that's at odds with importing related files into Calibre, tagging related files with each project, and removing or replacing some files from time to time.

Are there any tricks to make them work together?

@MarjaE - As I understand it Scrivener is a writers tool, so you might want to ask this in the Writer's Corner forum, where Scrivener users are more likely to hang out. Calibre users are more akin to typesetters and librarians, i.e. the back end of the business rather than the front end creators.

I can move this post there if that suits you. Or you can create a new thread over there and we can post a link to it in this thread and close this thread.

Well... I need to gather and read research materials to write my own works. I need to be something of both. Which is why I'm considering using both. But if you think moving this would help, then please do.

@MarjaE - Then I definitely think it would be better if you copied your original post into new thread in Writer's Corner, with a link to this thread; if you let me know when you've created the new thread I'll post a link to your new thread in here as a moderator and close this thread.

I used an early version of Scrivener for a while. But for me at least, it became too elaborate. Now I use Evernote for research related tasks and Word for the writing stage, but I write essay like documents not commercial books.
