Thus, in addition to file format, also pay attention to its content format.
Hope it helps,

Agreed, pdf is only real good if the layout is configured for the size of the device. When this is done correctly, nothing can beat PDF. For everyday novels that don't need a lot of difficult formatting, ePub rules.
