This was a very good discussion about the "legitimacy" of PDFs for e-book use. (I say "was," only because discussion seemed to dry up a few days ago.) I have to say, though, that after all the discussion, I'm frankly surprised that the final tally is almost 2-1 against PDFs! (Yes, you know what I voted for!)
Could it be that this is only because the poll represents voting before we got into 8 pages of debate? Has anyone out there changed their minds one way or the other?
I got the impression that the wild card in this discussion was e-textbooks, something casual readers don't often consider here, and apparently the main reason for continued support of PDFs for e-book formats. Did the consideration of e-textbooks change anyone's mind about the question after their vote, pro or con? Or do you consider textbooks separate from e-books (and if so, please elaborate)?
