I created an account and a book, found it in my Dropbox and I edited the Book.txt file. I then returned to the Leanpub website and generated a preview. However, the preview didn't have the contents of Book.txt that I just updated. What's up?

You need to write your actual content in separate plain text files written with Markdown formatting. The Book.txt file is just a list of files. You can see the sample content for each Leanpub book styles by clicking on the following download links for business, fiction and technical books.

I'm writing in plain text and I'm still a bit confused in terms of how to actually go about the layout, formatting and editing part. Can you help?

How do I make a free sample book available to readers? I'm writing in Leanpub-Flavored Markdown.
