Ok, I don't really know what kinds of other formats are available and how well they work, because I don't have an eBook-reader myself. I thought PDF was common because at least everybody can display it and formatting isn't screwed up by.
PDF works great if your e-reader has an 8.5*11 size viewing area. Alas, none of them do.
But being able to reflow the text is certainly an important feature if you want to use it on displays of different size or if you want to change the fontsize.
I recently bought a science "ebook" that turned out to be a pdf of the print version. It is frankly unreadable on any ebook devices. The only way I could read it was to throw it up on my 28" desktop monitor.
(It was a good book regardless of the cluelessness of the author on how to do an ebook.)
