I am convinced that if Amazon wants their Kindle devices to succeed in the eyes of the technical and academic readers, they are going to have to improve PDF support sooner or later. Even if they have to cut some of their losses on Kindle books. There are not many Kindle books for academics. Most Kindle books are bestsellers, New Age, classics, etc. Only a very small percentage of Kindle formatted books are scientific and engineering books.
Adobe PDF is probably not the best choice for an ebook format. However, almost all academic documents including research papers, scientific journals, engineering, etc, are in PDF. PDF is the dominant format for the scientific and technical. That might change in the future but not today. Today you definitely want and need as good PDF support as possible.
