I'm looking for good software for overseeing and rearranging the structure of a book. I have used [Scrivener](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrivener_%28software%29) before, but found its exporting functionality frustrating and the software itself somewhat clunky. What are the alternatives?

I have a load of articles I need to rearrange around a new structure, expand or edit, then ideally export directly to an [ebook](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-book) format - or if necessary to another piece of software where it's easy to construct an ebook.

There may be new revisions of the book, so being able to edit in the original software then export is an advantage over formatting in separate software.
