If you want to create epub ebooks, Sigil is a very good tool: you'll get state of the art, clean epub files.
Of course, it looks like a Windows software: anti ergonomic and for geeks only.
But hey, it works, and it's free.

Note that 0.4.2 appears to be the last 32-bit version. 0.4.2 appears to be Intel-only, not PPC. All the 5.x versions appear to require Intel 64-bit.

Version 0.3.4 is not slow on my iMac. It is the best app to build I have tested these few days. Making very good and standard compliant code. It is useful to use it with a text editor as helper, like BBEdit or TextWrangler for instance. BBEdit is preferred because it can deliver and validate good code andTextWrangler is the light version of the soft. I'd like a better integration of Sigil with Mac OS guidelines but it's still a good app and it can progress a lot.

A very basic ePub editor. Extremely slow, however, and completely unresponsive (color wheel) during major replace operations. (And replacing misrepresented characters and typos is my main use of this utility.) OK, it is still v. 0.1.8, but this is not a very helpful one. Still has to get much faster and more responsive.

actually the developer site has sigil-0.3.2 of Nov 24, 2010 as most recent version. I have not used it much, but it did the job.

And currently 0.3.4 is up on the website.

As of version 0.3.0 support for Mac OS X 10.4 is dropped along with support for PowerPC Macs.

Last PPC version is 0.2.4.

Actually, Sigil is now at version 02.2 - it's hosted on Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/sigil/downloads/list

Roro01 had trouble on 27 Jun 2010

Why does this application put a hidden folder named .Sigil in the Home directory? I've downloaded version 0.2.3 from the developer site.

It's how unix/linux apps store their temporary data and configuration/preferences. They are normally hidden in the Finder. OS X is unix based but Apple made a design choice to put preferences/configuration and any temporary data in your Library folder under application support or preferences for ease of use reasons I imagine.
