If SalesForce is seeking a wide audience for this material then why offer only the choice of the epub format for download? Why not plain text, html or a pdf?

Following on from this, what are the best/recommended epub readers for the desktop? (Windows in particular) I don't have an eBook reader and it's not a format I've dealt with before.

They asked about readers for desktop, specifically Windows. Pretty sure iBooks is not relevant.
