A typesetting language is a must. Latex is a good option no doubt.
you might find looking at the code of this open book project useful
which uses a docbook like markup language:-
http://www.ibiblio.org/kuphaldt/electricCircuits/
A nice discussion on the markup languages used by the project is
available here:-
http://www.ibiblio.org/kuphaldt/electricCircuits/Devel/markup.html
other than Latex there is also the option of using docbook format. Its
homepage is http://docbook.sourceforge.net
There is also another good type-setting system used by some books
these days called Lout which has been used for many books (Mark
Summerfield's books for one on Qt/PyQt) and is claimed to be easier to
learn than latex.
Its website is here:-http://sourceforge.net/projects/lout
You could of course considering making the ebook on www.wikibooks.org also.
Play around with them and see which one you like most.

For some assistance with LaTeX and not making it completely code
writing, you can use a software called 'lyx', it should be in the repos
of your distro.
