Newton can't read ePub, unfortunately.

I would suggest sticking with Newton Press as these are "real" Newton
books, at least as your primary format. Paperback has some handy features
like adjusting the font size, but has some large downsides like not being
able to remember what page you were on after re-opening a book. If you
don't mind producing multiple versions, Paperback certainly makes a good
secondary format.
