Anyhow, most of my digital books are in PDF format. I don't like the other formats.

Myself, my preference would be to read all of my material in PDF to keep faithfully with the page layout as the author/publisher intended. Alas, it doesn't seem to work satisfactorily on my ebook reader (it's too small on a 6" screen) so I'm "stuck" purchasing other ebook formats (not that it's a bad thing but wouldn't be my first choice if pdf could work adequately on my ebook reader).
It's my impression that the pdf format is scorned on these forums only because it's not adequately viewable/functional on the 6" e-ink screens that these ebook readers generally use. It's a bit of a balancing act because larger screens likely means larger, heavier, and less convenient.
I'm also guessing that pdf support on the prs-700 means still scrolling around the touchscreen to read the material as it's still a 6" touchscreen. But I guess that's another conversation for another topic...
