I've done it, and it works well. Of course you are supposed to use 
styles, what did you expect? OpenOffice styles, in my experience, work 
well. I would only use LaTeX if the book had a lot of formulas in it. I 
wouldn't mind DocBook for on-line help, or books that don't have to look 
visually interesting (e.g. O'Reilly books) but for books that do (e.g. 
highschool textbooks) I would pick OpenOffice.

Best,
Daniel.
