  • PDF is probably the worst format for ereaders.
  • TXT will work on any ereader but lacks any formatting.
  • EPUB is the lingua franca for nearly all ereaders except Kindle.
  • MOBI is the standard for Kindle devices.
  • Free software is available to convert from one format (ie EPUB) to another.
