Then they are kinds of books that need large screens and are electronic documents, not ebooks.
I agree there are kinds of books that either:
Useless on a small mono screen (Big books with photos).
Need Print replica on large screen (Many science & maths textbooks).
Or Magazines and newspapers are often unsuitable for small screens.
But PDFs for novels, even with illustrations, are crazy. Trying to perfectly mimic a print edition fiction or poetry or play is also crazy, better to simplify.
