Question

PDF or EPUB Format for e-Book?

Answer 1

ePub support more devices, so , you need choose ePub

Answer 2

PDF makes it available to people who don't have Kindles or other ereaders.

Answer 3

I would suggest PDF. You could offer both, though. Generating a use-once download link for the one, the other, or both, is fairly simple.

Answer 4

For starters, Kindle does not support EPUB format but uses Amazon's propriatory AZW format.

EPUB is supported by the Kobo eReader, Apple iBooks, Barnes and Noble Nook, Sony Reader, BeBook, Bookeen Cybook Gen3 (with firmware v. 2 and up), COOL-ER, Adobe Digital Editions, Lexcycle Stanza, BookGlutton, AZARDI, Aldiko and WordPlayer on Android and the Mozilla Firefox add-on EPUBReader.

PDF is supported on Mobipocket, iRex iLiad, iRex DR1000, Sony Reader, Bookeen Cybook, Foxit eSlick, Amazon Kindle (1, 2, 3, International & DX), Barnes & Noble Nook, the iPad, PocketBook Reader, Bebook Neo and the Kobo eReader.

I'd recommend to offer both EPUB and PDF formats for your book.
