About Jutoh

Jutoh is a desktop app for writing and formatting ebooks. You import a Word, ODT, EPUB or text file, or start from scratch, and it splits the book into chapters, keeping pictures, tables and Word fields. An editor with styles, find and replace, document cleanup, footnotes, tables of contents, indexes and bibliographies helps you tidy the formatting.

It compiles to Kindle, EPUB 2 and 3, ODT for PDF, HTML, Markdown, CBZ and MP3, supports fixed-layout and reflowable books, and can check EPUB output. It is a one-time purchase with a demo.
