I've been reading programming books in PDF on my iPad, not because it's great but because PDF is (often) the only choice and PDF doesn't play nice on most readers. I would prefer HTML that an ereader could view and interact with, but I'm not aware that exists yet.

> PDF is (often) the only choice and PDF doesn't play nice on most readers Yeah, that situation is the one that indirectly prompted this post. I don't really understand why the EPUB format (or .mobi, or .azw3) hasn't made significant inroads into technical books. Print-formatted PDFs are just awful to read on anything but a medium-to-large monitor.
