I didn't explain this very well either. The newsletter is created as a PDF and is mailed out to 500 people quarterly. However, in one issue we asked for feedback. We got some requests back for an issue that could be read on handheld devices - hence the ePub. Now the people I'm showing it to now aren't the ones that made the request, so they're not the most knowledgable about the format.

Hmm... does the newsletter contain (or require) rich formatting and layout? If not, why not just use an atom/rss feed to deliver the newsletter (ie a blog)? Anything can read that, and people can use the feed reader of their choice.
Other than that, if you need to use ePub, just make it a DRM-free one (which I expect you'd do) and provide users a short explanation and links to some popular software on the main platforms (windows, mac, android, iOS, etc). Give them the link to the ePub article on wikipedia too; there's a lot of reader software listed there. Then just upload the file to your website every week and give your followers the link. |

thank you, quillaja, the Wikipedia link is a good idea. The ePub does have some formatting and images. I think I'll stick with this format.
