I have seen a question here about reading .epub but I would like to create my own easily from a GUI, what is available for Ubuntu? Even if I have to download something outside the repository, as long as it installs easily and works well, I would also like the software to be able to support the use of .svg images and tables.

Try Sigil, from here; http://code.google.com/p/sigil/ This is an excellent program for creating .epub files, works almost like a word processor After a lot of frustration with other applications I can say this one works, has good support for .svg images and tables just code your tables as xhtml, it can easily import an existing .epub too. | |||

Have you tried Calibre? I'm not sure about the images, but I know that it converts formats very well, and as a bonus, works with my Nook. | |||||||||

I'm listing three options that I've installed and run under either Ubuntu 10.10 or 10.04. I'm not sure of the extent of svg support, but I believe there is svg import support. Sigil is the one I'd try first. ecub is free but not open source. Jutoh is commercial (though inexpensive if I recall, and it has a trial mode for the first 20 docs), but it might be worth looking at just because of its interesting implementation (not necessarily a knock against it). It is supposed to be feature-rich, though I found it too slow on my machine at the time. Sigil -- A WYSIWYG ebook editor. As was mentioned before, Calibre can also work at bridging formats. It isn't designed as an editor, just a converter, but I've used it successfully for simple documents with straightforward graphical elements. | ||||

Do you want to use svg in epub? So epub holds vector graphic not a converted bitmap? Well the problems may by in your epub readers. Not all of them support svg (despite of epub specs). Have you used that support svg? | |||
