The best format is certainly the best format that displays on a given users device + has features (cross-compatibility, ease of conversion, etc.) that the user holds valuable. I personally think that epub has the best all around qualities for an archival format.

yes, and again, as i said, i was specifically referring to the best end format for the original poster, who has a device which supports epub.

although if we were to compare the formats among themselves, based on their capabilities and without taking into account the device, i think it is safe to say that epub is the best format overall as well.

but that was not my point here.
