Sigh. Still repeating that nonsense, Harry?

There are ton of things that can only be done with PDF, and even for things that can be done in other formats, PDF still delivers the best results typographically. PDF only had a bad name because people try to read PDFs which were generated for print, and not for reading on screens, and that mismatch yields bad results.

The key is to think about ebook reading when creating the PDFs, and to create several PDFs of various sizes, one for each widespread-used screen, each with minimal margins, if any. The Wiki here contains information about the sizes of many different readers.
