Okay, need some advice and info:

I'm planning out a few projects over the long term (short stories, audio comics, motion comics and other assorted projects come to mind) and I'm wanting to get my hands on a (good) free (or low cost) eBook compiler/maker that will allow me to publish and sell on both the Apple and Android platforms without having to worry about royalties.

Primarily, I will be working with .txt and pic files (with the option of adding in audio/video).

Any help is appreciated (because the amount of clutter available out there is overwhelming),



Thanks!

Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars

I use Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) for my own personal use (mostly converting between PDF, .MOBI and EPUB, as I have both a Nook and a basic-issue Kindle).

Looking at it, it does have some sort of option that has to do with comics, but I've not used that functionality and I couldn't say how well it does the trick. It is free and open-source, so there is that in its favor.
