No, I don't hate you, not for liking pdf or even for being a publisher. However, if you are with one of the Big 5 then I would like some of my money back for all of the books I bought at rip-off prices years ago.
PDF is fabulous at what it does, which is esentially to describe with precision a page. It is simply not flexible enough to give a good reading experience on most ereaders, which are generally not designed to display whole pages and give the reader choices of font sizes etc. My reading experience with pdf's on all ereaders I have tried is very poor. What's even worse is that a great deal of manual work is needed to get a satisfactory conversion of a pdf to a more appropriate format. So much so that it is usually preferable to read a very imperfect conversion to epub or mobi including the need to skip page headings and numbers constantly than to read the original pdf.
