Kindle/Mobi 50%
ePub 38%
PDF 11%

A number of readers said they could handle multiple formats, so I gave them the format that was first in their list as their preferred format.

What surprised me? That so many people wanted ePub.
This is LibraryThing - a lot of users went there when Amazon took over Goodreads. You may have had a different ratio on GR or somewhere else. It also might depend on where your audience were in the world.
