About e-book formats: Common formats are PDF and EPUB (English language). Each format has advantages and disadvantages.

The PDF format is widely supported. Its best feature is that it gives the closest representation of the physical book. This can be advantageous when there are indexes in the book that refer to the page numbers of the physical book. Another advantage of a PDF format is that some captions and headings may not be orphaned as they might be in an EPUB (depending on the app or reader device). A disadvantage of PDF is that it may require more scrolling, especially on smaller devices, depending on the device or reader software. Both PDF and EPUB formats are freely searchable, though searching capability may depend on the type of reader (app) that is used. PDF books may be "restricted" or "non-restricted" in terms of ability to copy and print content. The majority of PDF books restrict copy, paste, and printing of text for copyright protection.

The EPUB format is also widely accepted and supported. It is standardized format used by many publishers, readers, and device makers. It has features similar to web pages such as reflowable text and hyperlinks. The main advantage of EPUB is that it generally gives the best reader experience, especially on small reader devices. Though reflowable text is generally advantageous, there can be downsides depending on the device or software used to display the book. For example, on pages containing large photos, the photo caption may flow to the top of the next page making it more difficult to associate the caption with the photo. Another example is that a subheading might be orphaned at the bottom of the page instead of being kept with the first sentence below the subheading. Most EPUB books are printable, but may be subject to DRM (Digital Rights Management).

The format chosen is usually based on your preferred reading device and software. Note: EPUB or PDF e-books can not be read on a Kindle which requires the Mobi format.
