I agree about Calibre - I use it as a conversion tool, but it's a bit flaky
on epub ->pdf conversions.
I use Kindle's previewer - it allows you to see it in various Kindle device
views and converts epub to mobi on the fly .

But again, Sigil is good - has a built in editor or edits xhtml mode, but
you have to code your own css.

Simon

I used this tutorial to build epub and mobi:
http://www.jedisaber.com/eBooks/formatsource.shtml
I've hand coded the books I've produced so that I get precisely the result
I'm after. The first one took ages but once I'd got a template it was much
easier to do. Because its pure xhtml/css you could edit it in a standard
html text editor but some of the formatting will be ignored. I use Calibre
to convert ePub to mobi.
