Hi!

I need to know your favorite ebook creator.

Traditionally, I've just used Calibre. Now I want to do something a little more involved.

I'm tempted to use iBooks Author, because it looks pretty and easy to use. I don't have a mac laptop, though, just a desktop.

Do you have any experience with iBooks Author?

Do you know of a workable alternative?

@ajroach42 pandoc? Depends what sort of more involved kinds of things you want to do

@troubleMoney I'm trying to make epubs with embedded media (photos, audio, video).

Pandoc is great for doing stuff in batches, but I'm looking for something a little more wysiwyg.

@ajroach42 ...embedded audio and video?

I was not aware that was a thing people put in ebooks

Can't help you there I'm afraid

@troubleMoney It's part of the epub 3 standard.

That's why I'm looking at ibooks Author from apple, but I really don't like using Apple's software when I can avoid it.
