There's nothing wrong with a properly-created PDF.
Yes, but the previous poster is intending to use PDF as a source for conversion to other book formats. That's an extraordinarily bad idea. PDF files don't contain text, and don't convert well to other formats. PDF should be regarded purely as a "terminal format", if you feel that you really must use it at all.
