[Athen] what is the best format for digital publishing?

[Brusnighan, Dean A.]

Hi,

I have a question about digital publishing of university documents.

Purdue's Agricultural Communications group wants to produce more publications in digital format. Their desire is to produce publications in one or two standard, accessible formats. They tell me they will be using Adobe Creative Cloud, so will have the option to publish in many different formats for ereaders or tablets. EPUB is one they are considering.

They asked me for advice on what format or formats to produce to meet the needs of the greatest number of people. So now I'm asking for your help. What would you suggest? Would accessible PDF be the best format to reach those multiple platforms? Or is EPUB the way to go?

Thanks in advance!

Dean
