Hi Mike, I've followed this thread with great interest as a good friend of mine who issues e-pubs for a linux group and is also involved with the monthly magazine for ubuntu has also been bashing his head against a wall. He discounted Kompozer in the end & decided to bite the bullet and use a Microsoft one whilst he learned (x)html and CSS. Next time I see him on-line, I'll ask how he is getting on and if he can give you some advice from his personal perspective of e-publishing in linux.
