As to e-book formats, basically companies want control over their own products. By using someone else's, you have to give them a cut of your sales and have to rely on them for technical support (even more money).

PDF is quite a good format. The issues tend to be related to the screen size of the reader.
Reading a large PDF of a monitor usually works out pretty well for e-books.
If there are images or other non-text content in the e-book then it's an excellent format for smaller PCs and tablets too.
But I wouldn't choose it for a text-only book
