PDF Files

PDF is the file document format pioneered by Adobe. Because it is compatible will all computers (PC or Macintosh), it will serve most people farely well. The documents will all look the same, no matter which computer it is viewed on.

PDF documents are very easy to use with it's clean navigation buttons. You can zoom in to the document, add hyperlinks to the document and find words easily. It also has a professional feel to it, making it perfect to create ebooks.

It is easy to create a PDF document nowadays. You can download a freeware like Open Office, which allows you convert Word files to PDF formats quickly and easily.

EXE Format

The EXE format used to be a popular choice for ebook publishers not too long ago. This was because EXE compilers were relatively cheap to purchase and it was easy to allow affiliates to brand the ebook with their own affiliate links.

However, EXE files are easily infected with viruses and this makes it a slightly dangerous option. You don't want to be sending out virus infected files to your customers. Also, EXE files are compatible with Macintosh computers. This may alienate many customers.

As you can probably tell by now, the best format for publishing ebooks on is the pdf format. It is easy to create, and hassle-free!
