I'm having a hard time formulating a sentence with the following meaning

Please note that not all eBooks support all the different platforms
and devices.

I think the sentence conveys the idea (please mention if it's ambiguous); however, I feel it's unnatural and unprofessional.

I'm looking for suggestions to re-word and improve it. Thank you!

Each type of eBook reader has different requirements. Not every title will be available for use on a particular reader.

Please note that some eBooks may be unavailable in formats required by certain eBook readers.

First off, the relation is in opposite direction. Device supports media, not the opposite.
It's about formats, not the content so, eBook formats.
A device supports a number of formats, requires any single of them.
an eBook reader covers both devices and programs; mostly all platforms support all formats, providing they can run a program that can read them.
not all...all is less than optimal style. I think "some, certain", "unavailable" is a better word choice.
I'm still not sure about "certain", you may prefer something like "selected", "chosen" or such.
