Whether you are writing a user manual, a training guide, a course workbook, a nonfiction book, or internal company documentation, the format you choose has a direct impact on how people read and use your content. Two of the most popular formats, PDF and ePub, often appear to serve the same purpose: they both let you package and distribute written material. In practice, they offer very different reading experiences. So which one should you choose? The answer depends on your audience, your content, and how your readers expect to use it. And with HelpNDoc, you may not need to choose at all.
