I like PDF for the way it preserves layout (especially in textbooks) and because I know that if I email a PDF to someone they will almost certainly be able to open it. This doesn't apply for DOC, LRF, DJVU, etc. Personally I'd like to see DJVU become more popular because the files usually look great and are often a quarter the size of an equivalent PDF. If portable ebook readers offered better PDF/DJVU support, I'd use these formats exclusively. I don't see why they can't display PDFs exactly as pdflrt converts them: landscape mode showing a small part of the page without margins.

Is it possible to have a HTML ebook with images bundled inside the HTML file? From what I've seen, the images are usually separated from the HTML file (in another folder) and this makes emailing HTML ebooks trickier. I could always compress the HTML and images into a RAR but there is the risk that the person receiving the book wont extract the files correctly and then the book won't display right.
