The PDF renderer is part of the Adobe RMSDK. That gives them support for the format with relatively little extra outlay. Basically they had to enable it and add some handling in their interface. And if they didn't support PDF, all the reviewers would be marking them down for the lack. For me personally, having some PDF support is good. I don't use it much, but it has been handy.

And your statement about PDF of ereaders is exactly what most people here say. If you have a look in the "What to buy" forum, if someone says the major format they use is PDF, then the recommendation is always for a tablet.
