The answer is both yes and no. If you are just starting out. Don't buy expensive software, you should use the money to educate yourself because I have method that could help you create an ebook without spending any money,not even for the software itself.
The answer is no because when you are starting to profit from your website, you will want a better looking ebook and ecover so it will look more professional.
Either you are writing and ebook or just hiring some ghostwriter to do it for you, you still need a professionally looking ebook and ecover to attract customer to make their purchase.

There are several recommendation for marketers that have more money to spend. "Ebook Generator" by Arman Morin will be a nice choice, combing with "Ecover generator" which is also by Arman Morin, it will be a nice combination. Those two software have some functions even I can't get from the software I use to create my ebook.
