The beauty of ePubs is that they are fluid; PDFs are not. I'm no expert when it comes to PDFs on eBooks, but I don't think PDFs can come loaded with metadata (name of book, author, publish date, built-in table of contents) nor can I create hyperlinks within (such as creating my own TOC that will appear at the beginning of the ePub).
What's everyone's opinion on this? Am I right in thinking that PDF is NOT the way to go?
Thanks for reading!

The type of book here is important. If your client has a book that has very few images and mostly text, your decision to go with an ePub makes total sense. However if the book is image heavy it might make sense to stick with a pdf.
