I am curious why you just don't produce a pdf from OO Writer. The strengths of Scribus are mostly wasted on a plain text document. And the output file size is hefty with Scribus PDF compared to some other DTP programs, an important consideration with an e-book. I started writing my e-book listed below using Scribus but the file size quickly ballooned beyond what my e-book host would tolerate. So I redid it in pdftex. Frankly it would have been easier in Scribus, but the file size was a killer. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
