I once spent three weekends writing a single ebook for my Python course. Last month, my product (Ebookr.ai) generated a better one in about fifteen minutes, while I was making coffee. This is the story of the gap between those two sentences.

The problem that started everything

I run Jornada Python, a Python course for Brazilian devs. Ebooks are great assets for a course business: lead magnets, bonus material, complementary content. Students love them.

The problem: I hated making them.

Writing was slow. Formatting was slower. And I am the kind of person who notices when a heading is 2px off, which turns "quick formatting pass" into a lost evening.
