As a counterpoint, I'd wanted to write a book for years, and felt overwhelmed by the production process. asciidoc, docbook, word, it's kind of overwhelming. After I finally put together a good markdown->pandoc->latex->KDP flow, it was a huge relief, and I've printed two books since then (one by me, one by me and some co-authors). It's super-fun to receive an author proof in the mail and it motivates me to write more.
