That's silly. Try "I cannot understand why so many people distribute documents as PDFs instead of text files or epubs". FTFY, HTH.

> Even a cheap chinese tablet can do better and it won't cost more than an eink reader.

I have a cheap chinese tablet, and I do read pdfs on it. But not outside, or for more than a few hours without charging. If I want to read pdfs outside, or read them for 20 hours without charging, I use my kobo. Or sometimes I just don't want to carry two devices, or hold up double the weight of the kobo in a single device.

I do not understand why people with no imagination criticize what others do. :-P
