I can't tell you how many flames I've seen in the comments on sites like gizmodo and engadget along the lines of, "What do you mean they don't do PDF? PDF is teh most common ebook format ever. FAIL." They do PDF about as well as any 6" reader can. They're just honest about it.
Is there actually any software that can do a perfect PDF conversion? I've yet to ear of such. Even Adobe Acrobat Pro cannot do a perfect conversion even if the PDF is just all text.
