Leanpub Self-Publishing Platform

Hi,Maybe try to publish with http://leanpub.com platform?Maybe this is a solution for your problem.All the best Tom

You might want to take a look at Leanpub (https://leanpub.com) if you haven't already. Seems like it may suit you.

LeanPub or SoftCover should do more or less what you're looking for.

You should give Leanpub [0] a shot which is a platform for self-publishers. You not only get full-control over the process, but you can also use various input sources and formats (GitHub/Bitbucket, Dropbox, PDF, ...) and output formats (PDF, EPUB, MOBI).I write all my books with Markdown and Git/GitHub [1] and release them eventually on Leanpub [2]. Even if you don't want to release the book on their platform, you can take away the output files and publish them somewhere else (

Check out leanpub.com ... basically what it is.

It's shameless self-promotion, but my startup Leanpub (http://leanpub.com) lets you write in HTML or Markdown, embed external code samples, save your files in Dropbox and produce PDF, EPUB and MOBI with one click. We sell all 3 formats, with automatic update distribution to existing readers when you publish a new version (so you can sell your book while it's in progress). You keep the rights to your book, etc.

How does this differ from leanpub?

Very cool write up. Did you evaluate anything like leanpub to build the pdf/epub/mobi versions instead of building the pipeline from scratch?

I'm self-publishing two in-progress JavaScript books with Leanpub, and have had a fantastic experience so far.They basically share a Dropbox folder with you and let you edit your book in Markdown. For me this means that I'm easily able to work with my normal text editing tools rather than learning something completely new. When I want to publish/preview a new version, I just log into their site and hit the appropriate button, which will autogenerate the PDF, epub and mobi files

Does Leanpub Markua (http://markua.com/) fit into your requirements?
