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.

Very much so. Thanks. Gives me sort of a minimum starting point.
RTF, no problem. CJ and I taught a lot of publishers how to use their computers back in the 80's.
The jury's still out on the DRM thing. I'm thinking (just thinking, mind you!) of using DRM but making non-DRM available off my website to people willing to fully register with me. I'm just not sure, yet. I can understand wanting to put the file on various readers, hence a need for a single/buyer to want it in multiple formats, but as a basic deterent to the general consumer who has only one device...I just don't know yet. I've only started considering the question. I'm not sure what abilities of that sort the web host can offer.
As you can tell, I'm truly just starting to address the problem!
