I mostly read academic books and journals. In my experience, academic publishers stick to PDF formats for their digital books. They may have other formats, but usually there is a PDF format or if there is only one format, it is in PDF.
I don't know what non-academic publishers do but I think the academic publishers like Routledge, University of California Press, Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press are heading in the right way. If you want digital format, go to PDF.
