Oh grief!

Well, to each his own, I guess. As for me, I don't want to preserve format, unless it's a table or something where the format contains information. For most things I just want to read the text.

For example, since I currently am forced to use Windows at work, I have Outlook configured to convert HTML to text so I get rid of all the screwy fonts and colors people pick for their emails.

As for how well PDF actually works for the blind--I have no idea, but I think my comments on the kerosene analogy were accurate.
