How about a program to publish ebooks in .epub and other formats?

Thank you for your effort to help, but my e-reader doesn't handle .mobi files.

I really think CoffeeCup should seriously consider the opportunity, and surf on the wave of the growing e-book industry. It would be a neat add-on to its great collection of good and decently priced software.

I was about to suggest something similar.
Since the Kindle uses basic HTML code, it could be incorporated into the HTML editor.
This could be either a tab or a menu option, so you just click on the Kindle HTML tab, and all that is available for you is the HTML code available on the Kindle. Then you have quick links for Cover jpeg, TOC setting up etc. And maybe an option to auto upload to your Amazon DTP/KDP account. Also the preview pane would give you an idea of how it should look on the Kindle.
Well that's the Kindle solved. Do other ebook readers use HTML formatting as well.

I use the Nook Color, and although it supports many formats, the main ebook format is .epub. It can also read .txt, .pdf, and a few others as well as MS Office formats. The .epub though is what would be most often used for books.

epub is also basically an HTML formatted document. It uses XHTML which has very strict rules on how certain things are written, actually I think CC HTML editor follows most of these rules anyway.

A zipped epub file, apart from the XHTML file, also includes two files: one with the .opf extension and another with the .ncx extension. The .opf file contains book information (author, publisher, etc.) and a list of all files in the book package. The .ncx file tells the sequence and organization (parts, chapters or sections) of XHTML documents in a book. The last file in the package is a meta file with DRM info. This is in its won directory.

I agree. We need a program that will allow us to place books or magazines or flyers on websites for our customers.
