PDF vs EPUB

The EPUB format should be the way we all consume ebooks. Here's why these are all PDF files instead:

  • typography and feature support for EPUB on most tablets leave a lot to be desired
  • anchored annotations: the handwritten notes you take on the file stay in place forever
  • consistent design: PDF gives creators more control over typography and design

In most cases, these PDF files are derived from an EPUB. If you prefer that format, the corresponding source is linked for each book above.
