And I think PDF should also get major points due to its ubiquitous nature... more than any other e-book format, PDFs can be read on most any device, large and small, on most any OS including those of proprietary hardware, from old to new documents and old to new systems. That's more widespread than Mobi. That's the kind of ubiquitousness ePub drools about. And it's already here. That counts for a lot.

No adding graphics/bookmarks to a reflowable format is perfectly possible. And I'm sorry, but if we stuck to a format simply because it is ubiquitous, then we'd never change formats.
