- wysiwyg makes it easier to anticipate what the result will look like, even without access to the reading device in question, and page layout programs and PDF are natural partners.
- by contrast, there are no mobi authoring tools that offer wysiwyg. You are basically editing HTML - or something that gets turned into HTML - and have to compile the result to see what it is going to look like on a Kindle (or Kindle previewer app).
I'm not saying PDF is the ideal format for Kindle - far from it - just that it is an important complement to the reflowable formats we have to date.

Your document looks great. The only other PDF I've looked at is The Linux Journal.
Even with rotating the screen and zooming, it's not very kindle friendly at all.
