My organization is investigating making our technical reports/materials available for various ereaders.

I know that there are several devices and am wondering if there is one format that works well on each of these major devices. For the kindle, I've found that converting from PDF doesn't yield the best results. It seems best to convert from Word to HTML and then use Mobipocket Creator to convert the HTML to something for the kindle.

In order to make these reports available to people who use other devices (not the kindle), would I then have to do this for the other readers such as the nook, ipad? Or do these formats work on the other devices?
