I added 2 more software packages to the wiki page under "graphics" for

I like that. I have poor experience with it tbh, tried it when my
step-mom got an electronic bookreader, but it wasn't recognized so i
ended up removing it. I saw you could convert formats, but i didn't
know it had publication capabilities. I thought it was a sort of
shotwell for managing e-books files. There seems to be quite a jungle
of formats and devices out there... I've been hoping scribus will
implement epub export and i know they are working on it, but it seems
to be taking quite sometime
Overwhelmingly complicated book manager yes, but in terms of epub editor
it is pretty solid, from what I have seen. Scribus has some plugins
although I don't know how well they are. Regardless, scribus in the end
is a design tool optimized for printing based on my experiences, rather
than digital documents. So there is some value to have a dedicated tool
that is optimized for ebooks. One that is not requiring you to specify
content one page at a time in a pixel perfect manner, and rather
arranges it one chapter at a time, with styling that is flexible.
(add) pdf-shuffler: There is currently no way to rearrange an existing
pdf, or merge two pdfs without importing the whole thing into
libreoffice or graphics software which can mess up formatting. Useful
when you are asked to glue the application form and your portfolio into
one file.
That is also a good idea. Never thought of that scenario, but i guess
it makes a lot of sense.
