It's not LaTeX, but a historian recently posted on HN his work flow for using plaintext and Pandoc for writing papers [1]. I've been using markdown+pandoc [2] for a book of stories for my family. TeX/LateX exerts nearly absolute (albeit, gorgeous) control over layout, whereas e-book readers often provide the reader with many configurable layout options. Thus, e-book formats tend towards a content-with-minimal-layout-hints way of handling layout. I'm finding markdown plus pandoc a good fit for the latter.
