Ask HN: What are the best eBook authoring tools today?
This violates the "One Tool" constraint that OP requested, but the Standard Ebooks tool chain is available on Github for anyone interested: https://github.com/standardebooks/tools

Standard Ebooks
The code is GPL-3 and the templates are CC0: https://github.com/standardebooks/tools/blob/master/LICENSE....
Feel free to ask on the mailing list if you have any questions, more likely to be picked up there than in a random HN thread :)

Today I learned ePub is just HTML/CSS
I'll give a shoutout to some other excellent software.
The first is the "Standard Ebooks"[1] toolset, which is a suite of Python scripts to create, process, and build ebooks in all common formats. The results on the Standard Ebooks site speak for themselves. They're impeccable in every way, and far better than many big name, commercially produced efforts.

17-volume Arabian Nights available in its entirety at Project Gutenberg
This question comes up a lot. The source to our production pipeline is GPLed and freely available,[1] but the biggest part of why we produce good work is that we have a high quality manual of style.[2] Unfortunately, that second part is very specific to English, and that’s the difficult part to replicate for other languages.
