As a busy author/self-publisher, I want to please most of my customers by providing multiple e-book formats. I also provide RTF, in order that consumers can convert their own if they don't like the ones I supply. But with the ePub files I now offer, consumers now have access to HTML that can be used for conversion.

So: Is there a need for RTF availability any longer? Should I abandon this format on my books site? Or is there something about it that still makes RTF more useful/desirable than ePub?
