I'm not a trust fund kid, but I could safely quit my job any minute and be okay for at least a year.
I'm 28. I have a net worth over $130k and a $25k emergency fund. I make over $70k (web dev) in a low cost of living area. I am maxing out my 401k and Roth IRA every year and will be opening a taxable account this year to dump more money into. I'm a renter (2BR for $515/month not including utilities), but I am fully supporting my fiancée who is finishing her masters of accounting degree.
I still spend quite a bit of extra money on video games and board games and a few other luxuries that I could and probably should cut back on. But I don't eat out (we cook in every night) and I live a mile away from my work.
My ultimate goal is financial independence. I want to be able to live off the 4% returns of my investments and not have to work (although I probably would do something, but more for myself than a company).
Couldn't you technically take the output of GitBook and publish to each service (Amazon, Google Books, iTunes, etc) yourself? It seems you are only paying for the convenience of them doing it for you.

Thanks for the comment! We're also a Microsoft shop and I did like the VS integration with what I've seen so far. We've been using Track-it for our help desk and as a pseudo-project management system for years and it's terrible. Thanks again.
