What are you reading in A4?

I am talking about PDF documents here, not ebooks. I convert pure text PDF to ePUB btw.

I deal with PDF documents continuously with my engineering day job and I read them on my desktop PC monitor or my notebook, not my ereader.

Adobe designed the PDF system for PC's and laptops (larger screens) not ereaders.

I understand the desire of ereader owners to want to read PDF text or reference books. However a bigger screened device such as an iPad or KindleDX is far better to display such format documents.

IMHO, ereaders are geared towards reading ebooks, which I do not consider a PDF document to be.
