> Instant Ebook is Auto on the desk: describe the book, watch the run, stop anytime, export when ready.

## Not a dead-end generator

Unlike file-only tools, Auto leaves an editable manuscript next to CoAuthor and the bible.

## FAQ

### Is Instant still a product?

Yes — it ships as Auto on Book Author / Typewriter.

### Does Auto replace a long Scrivener draft?

No. Use Auto for a fast first pass; keep Scrivener (or Typewriter chapters) when you already have a deep binder. See the blog compare.

### Can I stop mid-run?

Yes. Auto is watchable — stop anytime and keep editing the manuscript on the shelf.

### What do I export?

EPUB, HTML, and Markdown from the same draft. Publish checks stay on the desk.
