@Raiden,

Oh, I never knew Adobe released PDFs to ISO managements. Here I was still thinking it was a closed standard. Well, that's a plus at least.

In which case, release your books in PDF as well. That way those with large screen readers can enjoy your books with all the margins, embedded fonts, and graphics.

I've found PDF to be a good format as long as an ebook is formatted for your reader's screen. Its biggest strength is that it allows you full control over your ebook. It doesn't work as well when you try and view the document on a significantly smaller screen.

When releasing ebooks in the PDF format, it might work best to release them in several page sizes. That way a reader can choose the version best suited for his/her ereader.
