I recommended ePUB because it is an open and documented, based on XML and HTML, all wrapped as a zip file. It should be readable with standard tools indefinitely.
Microsoft .lit format is also pretty good - internally it's also HTML, and fairly standard HTML at that (more so than Mobipocket). But as with Mobipocket, it's wrapped in a proprietary way, with no documentation on the file format. (All public documentation on .mobi, .lit, etc,., is reverse engineered.)

I think I have one follow-up from your responses: how should I think about the other book formats out there? Ie, why did you recommend ePub - are there certain benefits to it vs. the Microsoft .LIT format, or the Mobi format?
