Examples of well formatted PDF?
PDF is a cul-de-sac. Please, don't confuse people. TXT? No italics, no bolds?


Before introduction of PDF-reflow feature, you could to a certain degree create a redable PDF, but after reflow feature has been installed? no way to enjoy even pdf files created for 6" screens because the moment you hit zoom button (in order to remove margins and make the text bigger, i.e. you go from small to medium), it reflows your nicely created pdf to a piece of rubbish.

Reading book in TXT format is very similar to:

You go restaurant, they put a nice, shiny plate in front of you. You place an order. They cook a meal of your choice and bring it to you.....
.....
in a plastic bag.....

Sure, you can eat it. Open the bag, transfer the content on your plate and eat the mess...that is why you went to a restaurant in the first place, right? to have a decent and nicely presented meal?
