If you create a genuine PDF you have actually a lot of advantages. Pagenumbering for one,pictures(quality).
As soon as you use a large enough sreen the problems are gone.
People now are used to read on an IPhone and small devices.
No, the problems aren't gone.

The fundamental problem is that a PDF is formatted for a specific page size, and not all reading devices use the same page size. Suppose you format your PDF for a 6" page. That's fine if you're reading it on a device with a 6" screen, but what happens when you want to read it on your 10" tablet, or your 4" smartphone screen?

PDF is not an eBook format. Don't try to use it for something that it was never designed for.
