On such an expensive niche computer, I can't see this as an issue.

I’d like to see a durability test..

I purchased a Series 2 ceramic. My son wears it now (I have a series 4 SS). The Series 2 ceramic looks as good as the day I bought it.

I use Pixelmator. Everyone has a PSD template and it's easy enough. I drag the cover into Scrivener and it compiles with my ebook.

Non-fiction is a different world. Well written books normally hire an indexer to choose the words. As mentioned above, on a few support that. With Nisus and Mellel being my favorites in that department though I have never published that type of book.

With my second book due out in a few months, I can say there is no equal to Scrivener and I have used all of the above mentioned apps.

Ulysses is nice and I tend to use it for short form work that will not be an ebook or physical book. The best word processor I’ve used is Nisus Writer Pro if I wanted a MS word substitute. 

There’s more to Scrivener than what’s listed above. A lot more including hundreds of things I take for granted and use that won’t be mentioned here. It will compile your ebook for Kindle, Kobo, or paperback for any size book you want. Highlight verbs, adverbs, generate names, scene color coding, labels, status, synopsis and notes. 

I challenge anyone to create an 80,000 word document in MS Word and pick up where you left off instantly. Scrivener remembers where your cursor was last and you can edit the end or beginning immediately. I don’t have to wait for hundreds of pages to load before I start working on scene 48.

While a big fan of The OmniGroup, I do not currently use OO for either of my books. I just kept a document in Scrivener for this, but OO would have done a fine job. 

Regarding iCloud vs Dropbox, I don’t trust iCloud. Starting at iDisk, which sucked, I won’t forget the BS I and many other Mac users went through while they screwed around taking their sweet time “improving” it. It’s Apple’s fault developers don’t support it better. The Omni Group rolled their own, OmniPrescence. I’ve never lost data on Dropbox or OP. Wish I could say the same for Apple’s cloud offerings. 

Anyone know how Apple goes about figuring out the exploit in a case like this?
