Book Sprint Tools was:(Re: [wsfii-discuss] a couple of things)

Looks really nice.

Generally I have to say though, that I am much more concerned about a 
good tool for creating the content, and much less worried about a tool 
for presenting it/creating a printable book out of it.

That's what i like about hieraki, it focuses on being a nice clean 
hierarchical interface for authoring a book, rather than including POD 
stuff.
