(Interesting, though, as I've never sold a single novel in PDF, and when I removed PDF from my selections, I was never asked to put them back in. But they could be creating their own from RTF files...)
Jow Wickert of O'Reilly says ePub is a distant second, but as more devices and apps add the format to their list, this may change quickly... |
You need to remember that O'Reilly publishes only technical books, so their surveys are going to be heavily biased in that direction.
