Anyways, I like reading ebooks in my android device and I really love the page flip effect when I turn page. It feels like I am reading a paper back version of it and is also has the sound of a paper turning. This effect is absent in pdf.
Also, in ebook formats like epub, the text takes its space on the screen and crawls to next page, if the screen is small, but doesn't decrease the font size, making it easy to read, though the number of pages is increased. But, with pdf you have to zoom and then move the page left -right on the screen. Everytime, when i have to read a pdf, this frustrates me a lot.
Though I use a 8.9 inches tablet, but still reading a single page of pdf without zooming i.e. the original size taking whole screen is not possible. Howevr, when i convert the book to epub, I can read the whole book, sometimes in time less that that would require to read pdf version of it.
So, pdf is stupidity, If we I have to read a book, I would get a paperback and if I cannot, epub or other ebook format is best way.  |
PDF is an eBook format and will always remain an ebook format.
Its widely used everywhere because of its rich quality and interface.
