What is the difference between PDF & EPUB when downloading books?

• EPUB is an open eBook standard and file format that is optimized for viewing on devices. It automatically resizes to fit your screen and when you adjust font size. EPUB is the recommended format for download and is compatible with many eReaders and reading apps, including the iPad/iPhone, Kindle Fire, Galaxy tablets,  as well as the Adobe Digital Editions app for iOS and Android devices.

• PDFs are not re-flowable, so their text size cannot be adjusted for display on various devices.
