As long as you stick to semantic markup (ie. markup text by function - title, author, chapter - ex. XML) and NOT by layout (ie. how it should look - bold, italic, blink - ex. PDF) this is completely possible (and what ebooks should be aiming for). Then it simply becomes a matter of what each device is capable of and the reader programs create a layout appropriate to that device.
