Absolutely. Once you go beyond ordinary reflowable epub2 (which uploads to Amazon KDP just fine or converts to dual mobi for Smashwords Kindle downloads) forget ebooks. Too many ereaders and apps will fail.
Fixed layout and only static images: PDF.
Anything else clever needs an App. Basically Android is 85% and iOS is 15% It's not even to hard to make most of the Android source work on Windows or Linux as a Java application. Or port to QT for Mac OS, Windows and Linux.
