An excellent example of an ebook which examines this is Kevin Klement's work on Bertrand Russell's _Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy_:

Anyone considering this problem space would do well to examine his source files, as well as to compare the experience of reading the nicely formatted .pdfs and the ePub.

A similar comparison is possible between the version of Okakura Kakuzo's _The Book of Tea_ which I formatted using TeX (and which is in the TeX Showcase http://www.tug.org/texshowcase/ ):

and the ePub version:
