Writing a book using Google Docs   Post2PDF

I make no secret of the fact that Google Docs is one of my favourite tools for writing. It’s easy to use and convenient — no matter where I am or whether I’m using Linux or Windows (sorry, haven’t gone Mac yet), I get the same interface and features. If and when I need to, I can later download what I’ve written to my computer and open it in a word processor.

One of the projects I’m working on now is an ebook that’s being written using Google Docs. Before I embarked on that project I wondered whether or not such a thing was possible. And it is, as Philipp Lenssen has shown quite convincingly.

In a blog post, Lenssen discusses how he wrote the book Google Apps Hacks (titled Google Office Hacks during the early phases of writing). There’s a lot of useful information in Lenssen’s post, and while some of it is a bit techie you can learn a lot about what I call writing in the cloud.
