I would be happy to help with leanpub. With regards to pretty much anything.
Ok so here is the thing about leanpub. You control the manifest.
You can then once published do what ever you want with the generated files.

For a magazine or book leanpub is great.
If you really want to go the paid blog route, I'm sure we could kit out 
our own Markua (markdown) to html in worse case scenario.
