I read mobipocket on my WinMobile/WinCE devices. And PDF on my e-ink devices (hand-crafted).

I am so much a format snob, that I will reformat every single book I buy. First step is to extract the HTML and any pictures that are in the book. These are my source files. I then create an epub from that source, then the mobipocket from the epub and finally PDF from the source again (using LaTeX). Maybe when I buy a new LCD device (to replace my current WinCE one), I'll start reading epub (as the new device will most likely be Android). Or maybe I'll just use the Kindle App and continue reading the mobipocket...
