Perhaps a mod would be kind enough to add it? . . .

Hmm, I like epub's because they have formatting and well, I have grown accustomed to it. PDF/DJVU for second, TXT for third.

I've grown to like epub because it seems to work well in so many platforms and it works very well in TTS applications like TEXTALOUD.

PS As a note, I find CALIBRE incredibly useful.

ePub

Why? It's an open format that anyone can easily use, instead of some proprietary BS. I can't believe some people are using PDF, that format is designed for documents only, and is horrible for books. (not to mention hard to edit Sad)

PS. Get Sigil, the killer ePub editor/creator: https://github.com/user-none/Sigil

I find creating Epubs difficult, but it may just be a personal failing in reading instructions correctly. I prefer Mobi simply because of this.

epub because I can use it anywhere.

I can use PDF too, but it loses points because well, its corporate controlled.

Just thought I'd link my favourite PDF creators, Libreoffice and Apache Open Office.

www.libreoffice.org
LibreOffice

www.openoffice.org
Apache Open Office

Aside from PDF creators, my favourite PDF viewer is not Adobe Acrobat, or Foxit, my favourite is Evince.

Just because I love being different, my fave is lit files. I use ms reader on pc simply because it looks like a book would lay out.
