The best ebook format for your project will really depend upon your own preference. However, it is also important totake into consideration the type of ebook youre creatingand the number of pages it will contain. For example, if youve written a manuscript with hundreds of pages and have it typed into your word processing program, you wont want to waste your time creating an HTML page for each page of your ebook. Your best option will be to purchase Adobe Acrobat and compile your ebook into the PDF format. HTML compiled ebooks are better for smaller projects such as "how-to","instructional" or "informational" ebooks. Another consideration of great importance is your sales plan.If youre planning on marketing your ebook yourself, then itreally doesnt matter which format you use. However, if youre planning on selling your ebook on one of the ebook publishing sites, many of them will only accept ebooks in the PDF format.A good way to cover all of your bases is to simply publish yourebook in both formats. Let your customers decide which formatthey would prefer.
