Congratulations on the launch. As the first author on the platform, http://conqueringthecommandline.com , and as the author of two other books ( http://books.markbates.com ), I can say that this was the easiest, and nicest tool chain I've worked with. It took me from saying "I'm never going to write another book again" to "I have so many books I want to write now!".
This looks great. I was not able to find out myself: Where is the source-code hosted?
That is totally up to you. You can write your book and push changes to GitHub, store the book files in your Dropbox directory, tempt fate and just store them locally, etc. Softcover just pulls in the HTML and eBooks that are compiled from the source code, as well as the book config files, and generates the views and links.

Very nicely done. Just finished reading the whole. Hope you'd write the sequel.
I noticed that when changing from one chapter page to another, it loads much faster than the original rails tutorial, that takes forever. Nice improvement, still note a little latency though. It will be nice for people to study the Rails Tutorial Book when published on Softcover's new platform. Is going to happen?
