Hi!
I just ordered an Cybook Opus as my first ebook reader. I saw on the manufacturers webpage that I, depending on firmware, can read .mobi or epub books. I haven't got my device yet but is eager to start ordering books, which leads to a few questions I haven't found an answer to:

* If I go for the MobiPocket firmware, will I still be able to read PDF's?
* What is the most future proof format (I want to keep the books "forever")
* Is any format easier than the others for someone who's computers are all linux-only?

Main question:
* When starting from scratch, what format would YOU use?

(I've searched the forums but find it really hard to get a good overview)
