What is your favorite way of making eBooks in different formats? I can imagine two solutions:
a) Make the eBook in one format, and then use some applications to automatically convert it to the remaining formats. Possible disadvantage: if the latter formats allow some features that the original format does not support, the converted versions will not use them.
b) Write the eBook in some format-independent language, such as TeX or DocBook, and then compile it to all formats.
I don’t have much experience with eBooks, so I don’t know what kinds of formats are there, what are their features, and what convertors/compilers exist.

I made it in a program called eCub, which compiles .html files to a .epub file, which I then converted to other formats in Calibre.
