If it's ALWAYS going to be read on e.g. an iPad you might as well take full control of layout and make a PDF.
Because if you put it in eBook format you can sell it on Amazon, on the App store, and so on. Some people only read books on eReaders like Kobo and Kindle, so you need ePub (and Mobi) format.

I do have a PDF version too though. That one has tables, charts, illustrations, etc.
