Holding Out for an ePub Hero
Between the Kindle Store, iBookstore, and Google Bookstore, the ebooks market has exploded.

There is exactly one program that can edit ePub files directly—Sigil—and while I applaud what the app strives to do, it’s being worked on by just one developer and ported to multiple operating systems. As a result, it’s unpolished, unoptimized for the Mac, slow, and bug-ridden.
