If I still did book design, it'd be InDesign unfortunately; Adobe is the devil, but I haven't seen a text layout program that compares.
Not FOSS, but in terms of alternatives for Adobe, I have been liking Affinity so far. Haven't used Publisher much though.
I will do anything to get away from these fucks, even it means staying with proprietary software
And Scribus would be so much nicer if master pages worked the same as they did in InDesign.
What's Calibri? I'm not finding anything (besides the typeface) when I search.
Their website and a Wikipedia article about them are below.

You can use calibre for desktop publishing?
