[Leanpub co-founder here.]
Thanks for the kind words about Leanpub, and for choosing Leanpub as one of your publishing platforms!
We're fond of our pricing sliders and of our newsletters as well :) Also, thanks for the very fair comparison with us and Gumroad. Gumroad is an excellent service, and this type of detailed information will be helpful to many authors.
In terms of the differences on payment timing, the reason Leanpub takes longer to pay is so that we can offer the 45-day risk-free 100% refund policy on all purchases, which we believe helps increase sales...)
Finally, two questions for you:
1. Have you considered also converting your books into courses in Leanpub? We think we've built the best and easiest way to produce courses based on Markdown. Also, courses naturally have a higher price point than books, especially when bundled into course sets.
2. Would you like to be on our Frontmatter podcast (https://leanpub.com/podcasts/frontmatter)?
Thanks,
Peter
