Topic : Re: How do you keep up with all the ebook formats? There are three main ebook formats that I'm aware of, which look like this: PDF (you have full control over layout) mobi (Amazon - fluid...not - selfpublishingguru.com

10% popularity

Why are you using CSS anyway? I use Scrivener, and I use the inbuilt features to convert to ebook formats.

In practice, there are only two ebook formats. Pdf is a terrible formats for eReaders, and I've never heard anyone using it as such. The two used by the biggest sellers (Amazon, B&N, Apple, Kobo etc):

Mobi for Kindle. I don't know about Kf8, but Scrivener uses Amazon's tool(which is downloadable for free) to convert to Mobi , and I assume it can deal with the new formats.
EPub for everyone else

Smashwords requires a Ms Word file, which is why I avoid them (as Word files are as bad as Pdf). Either go directly to the other sellers, or choose a distributor like Draft2Digital that directly accepts ePub.
