Before commenting, let me say "Congratulation" for releasing Pro Git2. Great work!!
As for ebook formats, I think .mobi/.azw
will be highly appreciated by Kindle owners(myself included) because
a) ePub is not supported on Kindle(neither devices nor app), except the Kindle Fire tablets where other third party apps support it, and
b) they're reflowable unlike PDF.
The table below shows some of the numbers I gathered from http://progit-ja.github.io/ , where I've provided Japanese version of "Pro Git 1" ebooks. latex/makepdf, Calibre's command line tool, and Rakefile provided at progit/progit are used to generate those files.
format | % of all downloads | file size |
---|---|---|
70% | 4.5MB | |
epub | 14% | 4.0MB |
azw | 11% | 4.4MB |
mobi | 5% | 3.0MB |
Mobi is the smallest among these formats. Calibre must be doing something special for that, I suppose.

OK, by limiting the size of the images I was able to get the file sizes to about 12-15M for PDF,ePub and a bit under 25M for Mobi, which is emailable and way under the 50M Kindle Uploader limit. This should do for now.
