Congratulations on the success of your ebook. Also, thank you for your words of inspiration, that's quite thoughtful.
Could you detail the technical side of writing? I.e. what tools were used in getting this done?

I wrote the book using Markdown and styled the PDF with CSS using PrinceXML. The kitabu framework (http://github.com/jstorimer/kitabu) held it all together and automated the translation to different formats.
In the beginning I had to dive into the different formats to get them all working as I wanted but now I've got that automated.
Did you use a code editor for the markdown? I'm working on a book, and would use vim, but I'd like to see the TOC at all times. Something like Word's navigation pane.
