It is flattering to say, hey John Doe the great novelist is using LyX,
but much more important is another question.
Is LyX the right tool for a publisher who wants to publish printed books
and ebooks from the same source, which is what publishers want to do
today. At least this is what I want to d

What kind of books does he write? If
it's pure text then he probably does not need the power of LyX but on
the other hand if he's doing something complicated like writing
