Suggestions, links and resources welcome
Just read the thread today. I built a Ruby gem that handles book writing process with Textile or Markdown. You can generate a PDF using the Prince XML which cost 495USD (the free version adds a small logo at the first page).
If you're writing a programming book, the code can be highlighted using your preferred Textmate theme.
I'm using it to write my RSpec book right now. Footnotes are supported and I working on the indexes system and TOC. The best part is that you can layout your book professionally using CSS.

Don't know if somebody has suggested similar way, 'cause I haven't read the whole thread yet!
