FB2 is a known format for russian pirates, but it can and should be improved because it sucks ass in many things. FB3 was announced long ago but it hasn't got any traction yet.

EPUB is mor/e popular, so it's probably be the go to format for most books US and EU create, but it isn't much better.

Other than that, even Doc\Docx is better than PDF, but I'd recomend RTF for it has less traces of M$ bullshit, and while it's imperfect format, it's still better.

Docx doc rtf and all those have a different purpose than pdf, word docs don’t even necessarily look the same on two different computers with the same version of word, and rtf doesn’t even attempt any kind of paper description, it’s literally only a rich format for text. None of these are a true “if I give this to someone to print I know what I will get” “portable document format”

I will look at fb*, I had not heard of them. Thanks!

I don't like docx because it looks different in libreoffice compared to Windows, also you can run into problems with fonts
