textbooks epub or pdf?

Hi!

I'm looking for e-textbooks. I'm wondering?
They are about A4 or bigger. I can buy them as epub or pdf. Pdf is not really good with readers. Only with large screen ones like the onyx.

But it is not really a reader format. You need a really good reader to view them properly. What I like at pdfs is that they contain the layout from the books which is looking much better that is epub not.

For I cannot preview or give the epubs back and since these books are expensive it is a bit risky. That is why i ask here.

Textbooks have text, that can be easily changed with epub. But what is with the graphics that are sometimes quite big, about half a site and sometimes small. Do they change with it.

Or can they be zoomed? Or if the graphic is too big can epub be scrolled or does it just cut off the picture, which i fear.

I know many people here are interested in the onyx because of large pdf, maybe someone has experience with large textbooks, science books in epub. So I don't know which format to choose for them.
