However, there are much better options designed specifically for writing. So, if you write in another program, you will have to export or save your file in …
Vellum by 180g is a book-formatting application. The app can format text for a variety of booksellers, including Apple books, Kindle, Kobo, and more. It is only available for Mac/Apple computers.
