Software to create a printable book-format gamebook?
I recommend pangamebook to generate printable PDFs and electronic EPUBs from the same source. It's a pandoc filter, so you can even choose the preferred format to type in - Markdown, RTF, Orgmode, ODT…

A quick thought about length
I have thought of adding support for hidden variables by duplicating paragraphs to my pangamebook script. Probably as a separate script, to keep things simpler.

Lidenbaum post competition analysis
EPUB would indeed have been nice. (Pandoc can export to EPUB. Makes it easy to batch-export all books to different formats and could also do whatever other processing you want to do. And, coincidentally (ahem), I also made a filter for Pandoc that makes it possible to automatically add gamebook cross-references and/or shuffle the paragraphs automatically... https://github.com/lifelike/pangamebook).

Interactive Fiction Writing On Android
There are also command-line tools for writing choice-based i-f, that it sounds like you want to do, like some command-line variants of Twine. Never tried, but I suppose most of those also can run in Termux as well as on a laptop. I know my own little tool (pangamebook) works at least, because I test it regularly on my phone to make sure it works there if I ever want to edit a story away from my computer.

Gamebook creators, what software do you use? do you know LGC3 (LibroGameCreator 3)?
I don't think I qualify as a true gamebook creator (yet?), but this is the latest tool I made for making gamebooks (the older ones are obsolete): https://github.com/lifelike/pangamebook

Gordian Book — Make PDF gamebooks from Twine
I made two different tools for PDF downloads (my old gamebookformat and my newer, barely released yet, pangamebook. Your approach is different though... My idea was always to start from a format that is static and can not have any weird dynamic things that is not possible to include in a book. But Twine is full of precisely those weird things? How do you deal with that, like if there is conditional text in a paragraph, or inlined JavaScript? For my gamebookformat I experimented with Twine-export instead, because turning a static gamebook into Twince-code is kind of doable, and there is nothing that should not be possible to convert in that direction, but converting from Twine seemed much more difficult?
