Although many on MR do not agree that PDF is an ebook format, I think it could become one and that if it publishers properly formatted their books for PDF distribution on ereading devices, then PDF could work well. I think PDF has lots of advantages once you get past straight-text novels. I also think that as ereading device screens become larger PDF will gain adherents among the publishing community and will become a de facto standard.
I never liked PDF for ebooks. Especially not for novels. It's fine for textbooks, but for novels it's too rigid (which is the nature of PDF and the strong point of PDF).
