It's one of the reasons why I bought a Sony Reader rather than a Kindle. The Kindle seemed to be too much like reading on my computer; the Sony seemed to be more like reading a paperback. My hands-on experience with both (a neighbor bought a Kindle) demonstrated that for me the Kindle is too much like my computer.
So it is less the PDF format than the necessity of reading on my computer that makes me shy away from this type of offer.

I was not suggesting that this is a substitute for an eBook which was also available but not free. I was asking if a free PDF could be used to decide if you wanted to buy the real eBook that you wanted to read. Your original comment was you had to have a free eBook in the correct format to evaluate the author. I was trying to understand why this would be true unless you just wanted eBooks for free with no intention of buying.
