Okay, here're my requirements for an e-text format:

- full choice of fonts (either selectable by the reader, or the designer)
- professional-level typesetting features / controls
- multi-line h&j algorithm, incl. user-definable hyphenations either document-wide or on a per-word basis
- the ability to check a document compleatly for all instances of widows and orphans and stacks and set the formatting so as to preclude such

AFAICT, the only thing offering all of the above is a .pdf (or Flash or one of the other publishing-oriented formats (e.g., XPS) --- I'd be interested in other tools / formats which address such though.
