My free books are in something like 8 different formats. PDF is by far the most popular download. (Though .PRC is gaining.)
Agreed... why ignore the most popular document format out there? It's not as if it doesn't work at all... as long as the file is tagged for reflow, I find it works well on most any device with an Adobe reader (as opposed to a third-party PDF viewer).

Disclosure: Although my situation is exactly the opposite: Out of all my available formats, I never made a single sale in PDF (though there may be RTF purchasers who are resaving the e-book in PDF format).
