alt Hacker NewsHuh. I wrote into vim and made a bunch of .md files, and then just had Claude assemble them into an epub to make my book for Kindle. How did you decide on that size of page for the PDF?

That PDF is for proofreading and review, so I just used U.S. Letter size to make it easy to print on my home printer. For actual publication, I would use the page size for, say, a trade paperback.
For epubs, right now I'm using Pandoc: https://pandoc.org/epub.html. But, again, that's just now for the writing and proofing stages. For final output, I'll consider my options. (I may still go with Pandoc, but right now I'm using it because I was already using it for typesetting and so it was a low-friction choice.)
