It has been maligned by some developers in the past, including me, I will admit, for injecting unnecessary code into HTML files. But it has evolved and is quite a handy tool. It has many different developers authoring plug-ins, and has very useful mobile read forms, where users can post questions and get quick answers. So here's the Sigil website, where you can download the software. And over here is the mobile read forms they're very useful, they're very active, there's lots going on.

Access Aide is a plug-in designed to help developers level up their e-book content from a strictly accessibility point of view. I will talk at length about some of the other features of this plug-in later…
