 * I’m a little confused regarding this plugin or using the pressbooks.com website–
   what’s the difference?
 * Thanks

 * The plugin is so that you can have your own self-hosted solution, which is free
   to use (minus having to pay for a Prince XML license). If you don’t want to have
   your own setup, you can use pressbooks.com, but have to pay in order to export
   your book without any pressbook.com advertising & watermarks. This plugin & self-
   hosted version contains no watermarks (it does include a notice on the copyright
   page that you can manually disable if you choose to do so).

 * PDF export is now available in the self-hosted version via the open source mPDF
   plugin, so you don’t need to purchase a Prince license.
