I am with you on this.
PDF would be the best format for a large screen, since it can preserve the fonts and layout as the publisher intended them to be. Like a printed page, if you will. If there is screen-size standardization, then we are set.
Ideally, PDF would have been an open source format, but it's not, and it's the best I've seen out there.
I don't get the need for yet another format, like EPUB, which seems to bring less to the table, to boot.
