Well, PDF used that way takes away any of the more advanced features (most) ereaders provide, like being able to select a font size. AFAIK, the format is used as a pre-print stage and really works well for that, as you can depend on seeing the exact same thing on paper as you did on screen. But ebooks? No, I don't think so. |
Creating PDFs fixed to the reader's screen size means you have already selected the font and font size you prefer. This is the one time where the PDF format works great for a ereader. I still avoid PDFs but if you are willing to format them to fit your reader you end up with an excellent book.
