Thanks for your input. I'm glad to hear you find it useful.
Our hope is that by having a pretty flexible data storage format (plain text), we can concern ourselves with laying out the content in an optimized manner for any device that might like to access it. By eventually outputting to ePub, responsive HTML/CSS, KF8, we hope to allow writers to write once and let us handle putting it in formats that would make it available everywhere.
Also, 100% agree with you on authors not understanding plain-text and Markdown. These are at the forefront right now because the product is rough enough where the only people that will get it are people that understand these things. To build something your average writer will want to use, we're going to need to provide a soup to nuts experience, but one that respects the content creator and keeps them in control of their content.
