I agree with most of what you said. I've said some of the things you said before regarding why I prefer the PDF format. I've also made the argument on this forum before that reading it's JUST about the text although to different reasons that you make (though I do agree with your reasons). Reading is also about marking up books--not always and not for all reading occasions, but it can for many occasions.

There's still a LONG way to go for eBook development. It's not the end-all be-all. Books, the printed versions, still have a great place and will for a long, long time.
