Don't do it. Or if you must, make the pdf IN ADDITION to the epub offering so those of us who aren't reading on laptop screens can avoid it; then your client can analyze what sells/moves better.

This.
I preferentially buy PDF when it's formatted like the printed book (or, at least not 8.5"x11" that looks like it was formatted with a browser). I recognize, however, that I'm in a
tiny minority as I'm down to one store (ebooks.com) that sells a reasonable number of them and the publishers aren't even offering the option on most new books. Additionally, I switched from a reader to a tablet specifically because PDFs were tough to read on the reader.
