I use a combination of OpenOffice and vim.
*hi-fives you*
That's exactly what I do; OO for the writing, vim for turning its HTML exports into something useful for converting into mobi format (using html2mobi). Although once Amazon finally makes KF8 available, that'll change (and hopefully make substantially easier) this kind of thing. OO's HTML output is still pretty bad, though not as bad as what Microsoft manages to do.

never tried it but willing to try it outHas anyone else tried Yarny? And what do you think of the Cloud in general for purposes of your writing (e.g. Google Docs, Zoho Docs, and the like).

Ravana said:One of the things I noticed, in my limited time spent looking into epublishing, is that markets seem to prefer texts submitted in .doc form—and specifically not .docx, which is what current versions of Word use. (Second choice seems to go to .rtf; some don't even want that.) I imagine just about any program will save as .doc these days, but it still might be something to keep in mind, if your interest leans this direction.
