I'm really starting to like digital book reading, at least on devices
like the kindle, and hopefully the iPad. But I was appalled at the
number of formats!

I'd say we're in for a rough ride for a while.
On my laptop, pdf and djvu reign supreme. I have a very few epub
books, and one .chm.
A key feature that early readers was line wrapping: letting the view
change with larger fonts, for example. Very important on the kindle.
This may all be unnecessary on the iPad, just possibly pdf will still
be boss.
What experiences do you have with ebooks?
