An example that came up in a recent thread....
Yes this is one page, yes the layout is in fact critical to the author's intent.
And yes, textbooks, manuals and other documents definitely need more than what ebook formats can offer.
FWIW it sounds like they also tossed in Whispernet sync, annotations, etc.
I concur that PDF is preferable because it's more standardized. At the same time, I'm not surprised that Amazon preferred to brew up its own format, I can't see them liking the idea of dealing with a competitor's proprietary/closed format.
