I know the kindle will make me consider strongly having a book edited and indexed by someone I pay instead of a publisher.

- AndrewDucker 15y agoOnly useful if you can afford to pay someone to edit and index your book.
- gte910h 15y agoCompared to lost work from actually taking the time to write it, those will be negligible costs (for programmers).
- AndrewDucker 15y agoFor programmers, absolutely.

- StavrosK 15y agoI'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 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.
