Sure, but that's not what we're discussing here... we're discussing whether PDF is a legitimate e-book format. I mean, I see your points and all, but mere inferiority to other formats doesn't negate PDF's usefulness with certain kinds of e-documents. It may not be perfect, and it may not be popular with some people (okay, maybe a lot of people), but it's still legitimate.
