As you can see, both ebook formats have a number of advantages and disadvantages and
decision may be a little difficult.
The best ebook format for your project will really depend upon your own preference. However, it is also important to take into consideration
type of ebook you're creating and
number of pages it will contain. For example, if you've written a manuscript with hundreds of pages and have it typed into your word processing program, you won't 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
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 you're planning on marketing your ebook yourself, then it really doesn't matter which format you use. However, if you're planning on selling your ebook on one of
ebook publishing sites, many of them will only accept ebooks in
PDF format.
A good way to cover all of your bases is to simply publish your ebook in both formats. Let your customers decide which format they would prefer.
