vim+markdown+pandoc for me. Works great, especially since I'd rather edit anything in vim rather than any other environment.
In addition to writing books, I've also used this to make epub conversions of existing books.
If you're writing for a publisher, a lot of them prefer barebones formatting anyway so they can do the page layout themselves.
