Most common format for what?

I see PDF the most common document format for scholastic papers, technical, science and math books, but for recreational reading on the current crop of 6inch eReaders PDF is by far not the format of choice.

With the exception of Amazon (azw encrypted mobi) most everyone else makes their books available in ePub. With the easy removal of DRM and the almost flawless conversion between properly formatted LIT, MOBI, EPUB, and HTML ebooks I purchase from virtually any store and never purchase PDF e-books.

Of course for technical papers and books PDF is still the way to go. Many 6 inch readers will muddle through a PDF, but if I had the need for these types of docs I would purchase a larger ereader.
