You keep repeating this. But it's not true.
PDF is a perfect ebook format, currently more capable at presenting complex layouts than any other format I know of.
The problem is that most current devices are incapable of taking advantage of most current PDFs.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a hardware race to the bottom, with the same 6" screens competing mostly on price. I guess it's the hardware answer to the mass-paperback, aimed at readers who care nothing about presentation.
I hope as technology improves, we'll see devices capable of presenting hard-cover quality layout on hardcover-sized screens -- in the range of 11"-12".
If there were such devices, I personally would buy nothing but PDF books.
To each their own, of course, but PDF
is an ebook format.
