Probably one of the more universally accepted formats in RTF (Rich Text Format). I don't know the current Word Perfect but would be surprised if it didn't allow saving in RTF. Once there though you need to determine what format your readers want for viewing. Every ebook reader has different formats. To DRM or not to DRM is a question you have to answer as well. Most of us here don't like DRM,

I would just provide a few standard formats and allow buyers to convert as needed. (This is easy if there is no DRM.) Probably Mobipocket, Ereader and LIT would be the main ones.

Hope this helps.
