PDF isn't a terrible format; it's just entirely unsuited for reading on a 6" screen. For the purpose that it was intended to be used for, which is to be a digital reproduction of a printed page, it's an excellent format, but only when read on the appropriate device, which is a large-screen tablet.

I read a lot of academic journal articles and page-scans of old books in PDF format, and on my iPad they work very well indeed. But not on a 6" eInk device!
