I'm trying to figure out how a web site renders better on a phone than a small-screen-formatted PDF and I can't see the difference. Can you tell me what you mean?

As far as I can tell, both will be infinite scroll and not paged, neither lets you change the font size but rather let you pinch to zoom and then scroll around, both are supported out of the box on just about all phones. Neither will allow you to annotate, sync reading location or bookmark.

I have read novels in PDF from Feedbooks back around ten-ish years ago when they used to let you choose a small-screen format, and it didn't bother me even if it wasn't perfect (but as someone who has had Palm, WinCE, Psion, Rocket and even Franklin devices I'm not a natural PDF consumer).
