I disagree and perhaps I should leave it at that instead of a further derail, however a couple of thoughts:
1. I'm amused that you and you alone have perfect insight into how the digital world is "supposed to work". How fascinating. I must not have gotten the memo.
2. Saying that a specific layout is desirable is not automatically "paper thinking" and saying that it is seems to me to be begging the question. You feel that users should have complete control over the format and that the artist's intentions are a mere guideline; I disagree. Good luck with getting everything else in the world on board with that. (How are you coming on getting the Mobile Read forum precisely how you want it on your computer? Or is the forum also bound by "paper thinking"?)
3. I've used CBZ and CBR formats in the past and I think they have issues that will have to be resolved. For the moment, I prefer PDFs for many of my comic books.
4. Saying that PDF is "unsupportable" is ridiculous. Undesirable to you, maybe, but I have an eReader that supports PDFs quite to my liking at the moment.
Thank you for the interesting conversation - I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't support very many of your foundational assertions.

Also, I don't just think PDF is an invalid ebook format. I also think it's an invalid document format in general and should never, ever, ever be used for any reason ever.

Well, you have the right to your opinion. I like the format for certain, specific applications and wouldn't buy an eReader that didn't support it. If nothing else, it's a legacy format that many of my items are in that I don't want to rebuy/reformat.
