For me, ePub is the way to go, but as mentioned above, different vendors (and different e-Readers) will render them differently. But if you keep it simple, it should be readable in most devices.

The problem is for international (anyone outside of US) readers. For example, I'm from the Philippines, so neither Barnes & Noble or iTunes will sell to me (it's why we set up our own store here in the Philippines). There are also several indie publishers. At least for science fiction/fantasy, there's Weightless Books (http://weightlessbooks.com/) and Wizard's Tower Books (http://www.wizardstowerbooks.com/) for example.

You can also sell it directly off your website, which is what some publishers like Angry Robot does.
