I'd suggest converting the ePub file if you get a ".prc" file.

Note that this applies only to Baen. Generally speaking, ".prc" and ".mobi" files are completely interchangeable extensions.
I intend to try the various formats on my iPad to see which I like to read the most (as soon as I catch up on some recent hard bound purchases). Should I narrow which I need to look at from the Bujold CD?
