This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • org-epub

    Org mode epub export

  • If you want to start from Org Mode, you'd need to set up org-epub to export to ePub. I'm not sure how (or how well) it works.

  • olivetti

    Emacs minor mode to automatically balance window margins

  • Don't have a specific tutorial except to suggest setting org-mode to use olivetti and a nice variable pitch font for writing prose. You might also like the poet theme.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • poet

    An emacs theme that's well suited for modes using variable pitch: particularly org-mode and markdown-mode.

  • Don't have a specific tutorial except to suggest setting org-mode to use olivetti and a nice variable pitch font for writing prose. You might also like the poet theme.

  • ox-epub

    Org mode epub export

  • To export an org file to epub use ox-epub, and you'll get an option for epub in the normal org-mode export with C-c C-e.

  • ox-pandoc

    Another org-mode exporter via pandoc.

  • The ox-pandoc package is really useful (you need to have pandoc itself installed) and can export to epub using just the export function of org-mode itself. (That, in turn, is described thoroughly in the org manual.)

  • binder

    Emacs global minor mode facilitating multi-file writing projects

  • Doesn't help your export problem, but you may be interested in https://github.com/rnkn/binder. It's a mode inspired by Scrivener.
