Agreed, but how many tagged PDFs are there, as opposed to the usual non-tagged variety? And how do you know when you get it whether it's tagged?
As a general rule, I use PDFs on my handheld only if no other format is available for the information. And if no other format is available, I might try ripping the PDF with Mobi Creator. How well this works depends on the PDF.
I think PDFs are wonderful for what they are, but display on a small handheld screen isn't normally a design criteria when they are created.
