Re:Is Amazon’s Kindle Destroying the Publishing Industry? by StavrosK on Saturday May 28, 2011 @01:49PM (#2594839)
I've found a nice new startup by some HNers that allows you to easily publish your book in pdf, epub and mobi formats just by putting it in a shared dropbox folder and pressing a button. I even converted a tutorial of mine into a book and published it in a few clicks!

http://leanpub.com/learn-python

What I like about this is that, if you purchase the book there, you can get all updates for free. That means that I can post the tutorial there now for $2, then maybe add a chapter and raise the price by $0.5 every time I add new content, but all the early adopters have already bought it and get the updates for free.

So far, I love it.
