I am considering XML Editor Professional to migrate a book written in
Word to DocBook, and from there into HTML, then to use ebookc before
further revising it.
No need to use DocBook as an intermediate format.
In XMLmind XML Editor, please select menu item "Options|Install Add-ons"
and then install the add-on called "Word To XML".
Using the "File|Import DOCX" menu item added to XMLmind XML Editor by
this add-on, you can convert a DOCX file to multi-page "semantic"
XHTML5, which is perfect for ebookc.

On page
http://www.xmlmind.com/ebookc/download.shtml, it is noted that ebookc
"Requires Oracle or Apple Java 1.6+."
"Requires Oracle or Apple Java 1.6+." should read "Works on any platform
where Oracle Java 1.6+ or Apple Java 1.6+ is available". That is, pretty
much any platform.
More information in "Chapter 5. Installation",
http://www.xmlmind.com/ebookc/_distrib/doc/manual/html/install.html
Does this imply that ebookc works
only on Apple computers,
No.
or just that any current Java version (e.g., 10
or 11) is needed, even if running on a PC?
Yes.
I would appreciate knowing
this on a pre-installation basis, rather in possibly installing and then
uninstalling.
All XMLmind programs are extensively tested against every new major
version of Java, including Java 11.
However, we recommend to use the most recent version of Oracle Java.
Surprisingly, Oracle Java has *TWO* most recent versions:
- Java 11.0.2.

- Java 8 Update 202, slightly more stable, slightly faster than Java 11.
