True, but PDF is still a very good fit for downloading and reading news offline. Aside from the content being of a temporary nature (meaning that you'll read it once and then delete it, just like you don't keep newspapers around), the documents are for personal use only, since you're not allowed to redistribute a site's content publically anyway. In other words: it doesn't matter that the PDFs are formatted specifically for a particular device for this type of application.
