Summary
Jutoh imports Word, ODT, EPUB or text files, splits them into chapters, and compiles reflowable or fixed-layout EPUB that you check in Kindle Previewer before uploading to KDP. For paperbacks it exports ODT that you convert to PDF in LibreOffice or OpenOffice, with a print-on-demand wizard for page styles, so print needs a second program. It is made by Anthemion Software, a small UK company.
