Why do so many people use/care about PDF?
Why is it that so many people want to use PDF's on their ebook readers? It's my understanding that they're so specifically designed to appear a certain way per page. whereas ebook readers, by their very nature, are very fluid in how they can format books.

In fact, I know of more than one family member who takes documents and and converts them to PDF before sending to BN or Amazon (depending on the reader) to be converted to a proper format. Meanwhile, the Calibre manual says explicitly how terrible PDF is to convert from and why.

Why do people care about PDF so much?
