The needs of academic readers are completely different from those of fiction readers. I read fiction on my eInk Kindle. My Egyptology reference library is in PDF format on my iPad (and in paper on my bookshelves).
Therefore I'm going to turn my books into PDF. Unlike other book files, PDF files can really be "Portable".
