LaTeX has one huge disadvantage for rendering: it is very slow. Way beyound the processing power of an ereader in reasonable time. On a fast computer it does not even work on the fly. Going from source to finished renderable output usually requires multiple passes. Pregenerating 8 different versions of the book should work though (to allow changes in text size for the 8 settings on Kindle). You will still be in trouble when trying to change fonts.
