If you do end up deciding to use LaTeX, please consider http://SpanDeX.io! Not sure when you intend to start writing but in the next month we plan to push out some really robust reviewing/editing features. I don't think we've had anyone write a book on our platform yet so it'd be interesting to see how that goes. Anyway, if you end up going this route feel free to reach out to me if you have any feedback!
Even if you don't need LaTeX, you should consider it anyhow: even if its a little awkward and clunky, it does separate content from presentation and the results tend to look really good.
You could also check out something like Pandoc, which would let you write the actual content in markdown and then export it to LaTeX (or HTML).
it's a really simple site w/wysiwyg for writing e-books (spits out epub/mobi/pdf too). has a nice reader as well (see prev demo link). i think mike@pen.fm is in palo alto actually.

What does Pen.fm do?
And we haven't really decided on this yet, I don't think we'll need to use LaTeX but we'll see. Any suggestions are welcome :)
