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.

Uh... That's actually awesome. I'll start writing a book now, and that's where I'll publish it.
Great! Let me know how it's going, and if there's anything you need us to improve...
I definitely will! Right now I just wish you supported LaTeX, though.
That sounds super cool. I'm gonna check it out.
Game on, my friend.
