and how can i create an ebook file ???
can i use pdf files?

you cant use pdf files, but you could, i guess, copy an ebook to notepad and save it and then use that.

There is a program called "paperless printer."  What I do is to open the pdf in acrobat and then print to the paperless printer and set the output to text.

Too bad there is no native PDF support for ds/gba yet.  I would totally like to be able to read lecture notes (which usually have some sort of diagram in them) on the go.

So far there is no html renderer, although you can fairly simply convert HTML to text (without images) using your web browser (save as, then pick txt from the dropdown)

The filmplay ebook reader is not so good.
It doesn't save your position.

There's a good one here for GBA that you can get if you like. I use the horizontal version. There's also an NDS one that lets you save your posistion, but scrolling is only one line at a time and you can only save one bookmark even if you have multiple ebooks.

Both only interpret .txt files.
