PDF is in my opinion far and away the best ebook format, so long as the PDF was actually made for your device. PDF's bad reputation comes from people trying to read PDFs that were not made for their devices. There is no way to get decent typography like kerning, ligatures, end of line hyphenation, full font choice, vector graphics, etc., with any other format.
The problem with LaTex is the learning curve. I've been trying to figure it out last month (I have worked with it ages ago, for some school assignments, it's perfect if you need mathematical symbols...), but I just can't seem to get "into it" anymore...
