What is painful about letting go of PDF is that of course you lose a lot of the hard-worked formatting that the original layout engine produced (eg, TeX with the wonderful block-level justifications/hyphenations). So in that compromise you're then subjected to the whims of the faster-to-process line-based justfications which invariably look bad to tollerable.
It's been mentioned before but it'd be nice if eReaders would incorporate a slightly more sophisticated justification engine. The TeX engine is available as an independent library but I suspect legalities and CPU time could be making it a bit of trouble... or just "it's acceptable enough for now" attitude.
