PDF Compatibility Benefits

If you are still unsure whether to sell PDF files after reading our guide consider this: the PDF file format is almost universally accessible with any computerized device. So even if for example you have an eBook in an epub format it makes sense to include a PDF version as well because not all devices support epub.
