Generally, when I read e-books, I read, and occasionally look at graphics, and sometimes I bookmark things. PDF serves those needs fine, and I don't think they're all that unusual.
And I when I read look up words in a dictionary and at least with the Gen3 that does not work for PDF. And if I had a Kindle I would be searching the text and I suppose that does not work with PDF either.

It is strange to see PDF as one format since how it is encoded decide what you can do with the document.
