@eschwartz: what does "authoring information" mean? In what way could Pandoc help me w/ ebooks?

It won't do you anything, unless you wish to invest time in learning an unnecessary markup language and doing all your writing in plaintext with semantic markup.
IOW, it is an alternative writing tool, and one that requires thinking more about
how you write, when most authors would probably prefer to focus on
what you write.

If we want to talk "clean code," the tie goes to Markdown or, frankly, the nearly-defunct Wordperfect--not because WP is magic, but because the users are better trained.

Well, it also requires Windows. Okay, granted few writers use a linux operating system.
Personally, I'd just nuke everything but the raw text and do all the styling afterward by hand, although I suppose then Notepad would work as well as any word processor.
