The best and fastest is to display it as HTML. Why? Because HTML is what web was designed for in the first place, and it will allow users with any browser on any platform to read and access the book. XML as xhtml with css might also be a good choice.

The question is what format is the book originally in? If it's in PDF, then there are a lot of PDF to HTML converters out there, but nothing already built into the .net framework. If it's plain text, then creating html is easy.
