A word processor, any word processor, is not a particularly good choice
for writing a book. They've long since gone from being a "word
processor" to being a secretary's all-purpose convoluted typing tool.
They're not particularly conducive to writing paragraphs and pages as
just paragraphs and pages, often horrible at very long documents, and
not really good for doing page layout. Probably not a very useful
format if you were going to take a book to a printing house, either.
Latex is the usual suggestion for real authors, but will be even more
of a bastard to use if you're not into that kind of thing.
