Question Re: Display maps of Lonely Planet digital guides on Kindle Paperwhite ?

Thanks a lot for your precise answer.
Below are my comments.

Looking at the Lonely Planet website, some of the guides give options for PDF, EPUB & MOBI, and I'd certainly think that either MOBI or EPUB would be a better option if you planned to use any e-reader. PDF files are only really going to be suitable for tablets.
1) Why PDF is not as suitable than EPUB or MOBI ?
2) Between MOBI or EPUB, what is the best format ?
3) Have you tried those 2 formats ?
4) No way to zoom on small maps with those 2 formats ?
5) do you have the Kindle Paperwhite 2nd generation, maybe some display problems are solved ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
