I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab yesterday, for the sole purpose of using it as an e-reader. Now, I need to know what format the e-books need to be in!

From what I can see while browsing these forums I think they need to be in a pdf format, so will any pdf file work?

I'm really sorry about all the questions, but I really do need help!
You can download various apps for reading ebooks from the Android market.
For example Kindle or nook apps. For ePUBs, there are numerous apps, for example Aldiko.
The app already included should be identical to the Kobo app.
You can read all formats on your tablet. But you might need more than a single app to do so, if you've got a bunch of formats.
