That I can agree with, IF the PDF is made ground up for display on a 5" or 6" ereader. In reality though. most PDF's are formatted for A4 size paper from point of source. Perfectly fine to be read on a PC but not on a smaller screen.

Anyway, the original posting was made in regards to disability access and PDF's downloaded from Federal Government websites. It will be interesting to see the responses from the various public service departments in response to the report.
