PDFs can not be included within a epub file and work. Not on most readers anyway. You would have to have it as a separate file. You would have to be careful of your storage location, so your link to it from within the epub would work. Not all readers can link to the internet, and some people turn off the wi-fi, etc to save power.
Most of us have pounded away for quite a while on epubs. Your approach is fine for a one off if you don't really care if it survives the endless and inevitable hardware changes at Apple and elsewhere.
As I understand it, everyone is showing their concern based on the very bitter fact that if you do things I we understand you to be doing, you will end up having to do it all over from scratch. Most of us when we are done with a book are good and done with it for quite a while and could recite the book almost from memory for reading it over and over and over again for errors, obliterating most of the enjoying of it reading it in the first place. If any reader of your book finds an error, it may take you an inordinate amount of time to fix it. That is the concern.
Harry, a very meticulous fella, posts beautiful epubs on here. But even he is on 4th or 5th revisions of the same book.
Reminds me a bit of what I heard many years ago, "You can always do anything you want....so long as you don't care about the cost or the consequences."
