E-Book Formats

There are different formats that an e-book should be available in when publishing.

The most common format would be Kindle. Kindle is associated with Amazon. The great thing when publishing with Amazon is they will convert your document into a Kindle format!

Other formats that would be beneficial to have your book converted to:

Epub: Apple iPad/iBooks, Nook, Sony Reader, Kobo, and most e-reading apps including: Stanza, Aldiko, Adobe Digital Editions, others
PDF: good for reading on PC
RTF: readable on most word processors
LRF: Use only for older model Sony Readers that don't support .epub
Palm Doc (PDB): for Palm reading devices

If you choose to publish with Smashwords, they will also convert your book to all of the above formats mentioned.
