I've finally decided to try out some ebooks... Don't judge me for buying hard copies of books at used bookstores.. And I'm trying to understand what is a good reader and format. I'm using Google books app right now.. Is there something better? What about on iOS?

Certain Devices take certain formats. I find that PDFs are always the worse. The good news is, you can convert book formats using this software and put the book in whatever format you want (or that your reader will accept)

If you are a fan of e-books keep an eye on the Humble Bundle book bundles. They have comic book bundle up right now.

Find the reader you like and use Calibre to reformat as needed. I'll let you figure out the DRM aspect on your own, when, not if, you get there.

PDF is what it is as far as layout. The epub and mobi formats are scalable and look better on e-reader devices as you can change text, and it'll fit to the devices width, whereas a PDF will require constant zooming/scrolling.
