PDFs are also very good for printing.

	EPUB is a newer standard format for e-book readers like iPads, Kobos, and many more. Amazon Kindle does not support EPUB however. EPUB lets you change the size of the type, and is generally easier to read because it adapts to the size of your screen.

	~~PDF is probably the easiest and most reliable format to use, so if you are having problems accessing the EPUB, try the PDF format~~.
