Sure, you can... if it is tagged. I do it on my PDA all the time, no big.

I don't see why the insistence that PDF is so limited. You can set up a PDF to be searchable. You can index a PDF. You can bookmark a PDF. You can tag a PDF, so it becomes reflowable. Why does the "end user" need more than that out of their e-book?

If you have a device that can't handle those features, well, that's the fault of the device/software, not of PDFs. Get a device that will properly run Acrobat, and you'll be good to go.
