Well, I do not know if I can agree completely.

I used to hate the PDF format, then I learned to appreciate it a bit at least. When I use some law book for my work, I can annotate it on every device I am into, and find my highlights and notes back at the desktop.

Of course you cannot read PDF on phone, for lacking of text reflow.

If only there was an epub reader that you could use and sync amongst in every device you use, including the desktop. Let's hope in a future Marvin for desktop (not in schedule) and for iPhone (scheduled, as I was told).

People when thinking about ebook consider mainly portable devices, but there are books you do not just *read* but you use for your work (i.e.: mostly search amongst, read some small parts, copy, ecc.); for those books a mobile device is not enough, that' a work you still do better at the desktop.

Just my two cents, of course.
