What is the difference?  
  • Kindle eBooks can only be downloaded to a Kindle or device enabled by Kindle Cloud Reader.
  • More Adobe PDF books are available, but fewer devices support format. Adobe PDF books do not reformat to the specific window size of the device which sometimes means a lot of scrolling.
  • Adobe ePub books do reformat to the specific device..
  • Adobe PDF books can be returned early while ePub books stay on your device for the full two weeks.
