You do not need Word for writing books. You just need to provide the
book in the format that the editor/publisher requires - after you finish
your work.
Writing whatever isn't my point. It's allowing a group of people to
collaborate on a writing project, with each one being able to use the
word processor of their choice, and not be forced to use a particular
program.
There is a really prolific author - Piers Anthony - who went to Linux
and OOo years ago. I believe he is now using LO. He wrote macros and
uses a non-standard keyboard. He use to write 3 to 5 books a year. Now
that he is in the late 70's he has slowed down a lot. He use to have
author's notes at the end of his books, but now does most of it in a
blog. After reading he used OOo on his old Windows system, I started
using it. Then a few years later he moved to Linux for writing while
his wife used Windows - no dial-up modem support for Linux in the
forested area of Florida he lived in.
I don't know if I've read any his books or not.
Not having any modem support might have been a blessing in disguise! LOL
