If you need/want a fixed layout then use PDF. It is vastly better supported by both creation and reading apps. If you need reflowable text, use ePub, preferably ePub2 if you need/want wide support.
Some interactivity doesn't work that well when reading pdf in ibooks for instance. Simple things like showing-hiding elements on click etc. For example showing and hiding answers of a maths exercise. Hyperlinks do work though.

It's looks like everything is a little imperfect - pdf would work well for simple displaying but fxl epub3 is more programmable for interactivity.
