FWIW: PDF is the format most likely to give you the widest market; two major reasons being that PDF is both PC and Mac compatible, not to mention that most computers nowadays come with Acrobat Reader pre-installed.

There are a number of other options beside Acrobat for creating PDF files. For example, Pagemaker 6.x allows you to export as PDF, plus allows you to add internal/external hyperlinks to your e-books/documents. A plus of using it is that you can also use it to create camera-ready art for printed books, and in a ready-to-go format for most book printers.

Aside from Acrobat and Pagemaker, I'm not sure which allow you to create hyperlinks within the document (a very handy feature).
