Good write up, thanks.

I wrote three books using LaTex, but I now use markdown with leanpub, otherwise I would immediately clone the author’s setup. I also find that an iPad Pro is great for writing wherever I happen to be. I recently gave my large iPad Pro to someone and bought the smaller one. My new iPad Pro is so small it is always ready at hand.




This is a tangent, but I just wanted to thank you for making that move away from LaTeX. As I explained elsewhere [1], PDF (the primary output format of LaTeX AFAIK) is not very accessible to blind people via screen readers. The structured formats that can be easily produced with full fidelity from Markdown (HTML, EPUB) are much better. I'm sure this isn't the reason why you made the switch, but it's a nice side benefit.
