It's a good idea to offer a sample chapter or so. I'll get to it.

I will stick with PDF however, because my book contains a lot of fomulas, graphics, and code snippets which I don't think will look good in a "flowable" format. Designing for a real page size even smaller than the iLiad will be quite a chore - I was quite a bit of work to fit everything on the pages already.
The iLiad has a larger screen and higher resolution. So what PDF may look good with an iLiad may not always look good on a 6" screen like with Sony and Bookeen. Please format specifically for the 6" size screen. That way we will get a PDF that does look good. When you format it for an 8" screen, it is going to look smaller on a 6" screen when reduced in size. Also in order to make the 8" version look good on a 6" screen, you may end up having to make it look too large for the 8" screen. So overall, you'll either be making a version that's no good for an 8" screen or a version that's no good for a 6" screen. best option is to make one for each screen size and then it'll look good on either.
