As today date, PDF is the only "ebook" format that as a standard annotation system that goes integrated with the document itself. I think that is one of the most evident reasons.
Is what I do. All non-literature books are converted to PDF by me because then I can have the document and the comments in same file and can be viewed by any PDF viewer (well, most of them).
