2 questions about a reference eBook

I'm new to all this so apologize in advance if I post something I 
shouldn't, but wondered if I could get some feedback. My hubby and I 
self-publish a reference book that helps families and businesses 
prepare for and respond to most types of emergencies and natural and 
man-made disasters. A majority of our sales are in bulk to government 
since we customize our products and discount them 75% off list.

My discussion topics / questions are…

#1) We recently started offering our 284-page paperback and 298-page 
eBook direct to consumers but, since there's a LOT of formatting, 
bullets, etc, we only offer our ebook in PDF. Is PDF-only a real pain 
for ebook readers and, if so, do you have a preferred format? 

Also ~ some officials have scolded us saying we have TOO much 
information in our book. Well, yeah - we do have a lot of data in 
it ... but it's a reference tool that could save a life.

#2) Do you find large reference manuals too cumbersome to use as an 
ebook? (We have hundreds of web links in it so feel ebook is a 
compliment to our paperback, but it may not be too practical during a 
time of crisis [i.e. no power]!)

I'd welcome and appreciate any input and/or feedback and thank you 
for allowing me to post.

Stay safe, j
