The Problem
You write in markdown because it's fast, clean, and distraction-free. But when it's time to produce a real book, the kind with proper chapters, typography, and formatting, everything falls apart.
Copywriter
iA Writer and Typora can't handle EPUB properly: chapters merge together, no paragraph indentation, no clear separation. Atticus ($147) and Scrivener ($59.99) can, but that's a lot for a side hustle.
Programmer
So you copy-paste everything into Google Docs and spend an hour manually fixing bold, italic, hyperlinks, and image placement. Every. Single. Time. You export.
Student
You just need your notes as an ebook for studying. But every tool you find requires a tutorial, a command line, or a subscription just to get started.
Product Builder
You ask AI to scan your codebase and generate comprehensive user guides in markdown. But then you need to turn those files into polished PDFs or ebooks to share with users, investors, or customers. Another round of formatting headaches.
How It Works
No configuration files. No command line. No learning curve.
Drop a ZIP containing your .md files and images. That's your entire book.
Pick a cover image, heading font, body font, paragraph style, paper size, and language.
Hit the export button. Get a beautiful EPUB or PDF. Preview before you download.
What People Say
I tried iA Writer, Typora. They're weak at exporting EPUB. You end up wrestling with CSS. Atticus costs $147, Scrivener $59.99. Markbook is $20 and really solves my pain points.
