Yeah, that would be right. Living in the past and not adapting quickly to more forward thinking formats basically sums Microsoft up! Hence they are so far behind in the mobile computing revolution. (But that is a discussion for another place.)

PDFs have their place for documents and being read on PC monitors, but generally the smaller the screen, the less functional they become. So EPUB is the way forward for e-reading.

I suppose in an ideal world, you'd produce something in a couple of formats to give people with different devices some choice, but even so, I can see more and more people choosing to avoid using PDFs as Kindles/e-readers, tablets and big screen smartphones take over the world!
