What Jutoh is
Jutoh is desktop software for creating fiction and nonfiction ebooks, with tools to import, edit, format, and prepare books for ebook, print, or speech output. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and works offline apart from user-controlled update checks and downloads. The software imports DOCX, ODT, plain text, Markdown, HTML, CBZ, and existing Epub files; export formats include Epub, Kindle, ODT, HTML, CBZ, text, and Markdown. The maker says its Epub and Kindle output covers distributors such as Amazon, Apple, Nook, Kobo, and Google Books. Editing tools include formatting cleanup, project checks with warnings and tips, a contents wizard, indexes, notes, and bibliographies. Jutoh can also check contrast, image alternative text, and heading structure, and write accessibility metadata. The demo is capped at 20 documents, marks generated chapters with a Jutoh credit, and displays registration reminders. Prices exclude VAT.
