Some suggestions: Though iBooks supports PDF format now, but considering the small screen of iPhone and iPod Touch, it is not very convenient to read PDF eBooks on the devices, because you have to drag the scroll bar from left to right each time to read a line of text in a single page from one PDF eBook. So here comes the EPUB. EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that the text display can be optimized for the particular display device. That means, EPUB eBooks can adjust the screen size of your devices automatically, so you don’t need to drag for reading your eBooks anymore! If you already have some PDF eBooks on your computer, converting PDF to EPUB on Mac or converting PDF to EPUB on PC, and then transfer the converted PDF eBooks to your iPhone or iPod Touch for reading will be a good choice! It could be easily imagined that the reading experience would be highly improved!

Additionally, iPad is also very fascinating for Mac users and tons of them have got one individually. If you also have an iPad, you can still transfer your PDF to iPad for reading. This would also be very good.
