My wife has been planning to write a book about, well about a lot of things actually. After I posted my eBook HTML template yesterday, she asked me whether it was the right starting point for her projects. I explained, that for me, a software developer, using Dreamweaver to edit a collection of chapters in HTML formatted files made sense. But for her, maybe not so much.
In the end, I suggested that she use tools that felt natural to her for the task. She’s an expert at writing with Microsoft Word, so it makes sense to use that to write the book.  Few, if any, are writing eBooks in ePub format directly. And I’m sure that somewhere out there, people are using WordPress or Blogger to write their eBooks too!
