The listed "limitations" of print are limitations the same way that the directorial tyranny of where scene cuts should be are limitations of motion pictures. Poor quality PDFs are problems of insufficiently informed or incompetent eBook creators (i.e.: people/companies), not of the limitations of PDF as a format.

Since proper typography is (literally) *impossible* to fully automate, no format other than PDF can achieve the quality of printed publications. But, as noted earlier, multiple font sized PDFs will be offered--along with Mobipocket and ePub for those that prefer their scene cuts to be decided by their display device instead of the director.

As to "tagged PDFs", I do thank you for your suggestion; but I am not sure I see what the tagging is supposed to address in this instance. Help me out?
