You may prefer PDF, they can't use it.

I don't understand the point.
Take a non-image PDF and open it on your PC. Now, zoom in. The text stays nice and crisp.
Similarly, the Adobe Mobile SDK 9
reflows simple text, and allows enlarging the font. But it also can deal with complex, fixed layouts, where required.
So, what exactly is the problem?
I can see the validity of kovidgoyal's "semantic" argument (although I don't see why it can't be largely addressed by future development of PDF,) but don't see the issue here.
