[IAEP] [support-gang] Sigil - a multi-platform WYSIWYG ebook editor

[James Simmons]

I discuss a couple of possibilities for making EPUBs in my book.
Besides Sigil, there is also the Booki software I used to create my
two FLOSS Manuals.  Unlike Sigil, this is something that can be used
from Sugar without needing anything other than Browse.  Of course you
could use any image-drawing Activity or perhaps Record to add pictures
to the book, and I modified the Sugar Commander Activity so it can
resize images to fit in a book.  You don't need to write a FLOSS
Manual to use Booki.  There is a site that will let you write a book
on any subject:

http://www.booki.cc/list-books/

You can also set up your own Booki if you like, and Sugar Labs has an
instance of it for the "Replacing Textbooks" project.
