OK. Well Jelby did write half-joking.

Well...that's a matter of opinion, for the various reasons stated, by me and some others throughout the thread. I don't personally feel that the rigidity of PDF is better, for digital reading on devices, than a reflowable ebook. BUT, yes, that's my opinion.
I fail to see what reflowable brings to a book that is 100% images.

And therein lies the rub for PDF. You just...there's no One Size To Rule Them All, because every bloody device is different. Whether it's the 3:4 aspect ratio of iPads or the 1:1.6, 1:1.7 for Kindles or, or or...

All the PDF readers on e-ink and general purpose computers that I am familiar with preserve aspect ratio with blank bars at top and bottom or on the sides. Even those with a fit to width option will either crop the top and bottom or have blank bars at top and bottom.
