Well, that’s what they say. The word processor is a $35 download (free in certain cases) and has an EPUB creation facility. I don’t know anything about the word processor, itself, or about its EPUB abilities, but if anyone wants to check it out you can find the main site here, and the EPUB creation help page here. Let us know about your experience with the program. There is a 30 day free trial. This is what they say:
In Atlantis you can convert any document to an eBook. Atlantis saves eBooks in the EPUB format (EPUB stands for “Electronic Publication”). EPUB is an eBook standard by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) supported by most modern eBook reader software and devices (including iPhone and Sony Reader).
All eBooks created in Atlantis can be viewed on your PC in any eBook reader running under Windows. Alternatively, these eBooks can be viewed online in the eBook readers available on the Web. And of course, they can be viewed on any portable device supporting eBooks in the EPUB format.

I can read EPub books on my Mac using either Stanza or Calibre. I am not running Windows. In addition I can convert them to the Kindle AZW format for reading on that platform. Not everyone uses Windows.
I am so in love with this program now I can’t stand it. For weeks and weeks I’ve been bashing my head against my desk trying to get a decent XHTML/CSS to display on ADE, Sony, and FBReader (okay, that one didn’t have indented paragraphs, but still!). A friend is going to boot it up onto her iPhone later to see if it’s presentable.
*fangrrrrlll squeeeeeeeeeeee*
There doesn’t appear to be a mac version unfortunately, unless my eyes have missed something.
