Yes, that's certainly my preference. For ordinary novels, Mobi format is "good enough". Of course, I appreciate that there are documents with more complex formatting for which it isn't, and for those, PDF is an excellent solution.

Short of that though, you really don't think, Harry, that PDF files provided in multiple font sizes could address the same problem almost as well?

It's certainly a solution, yes. My concern is, I guess, that PDF removes one of the main benefits of an eBook over a paper book - the ability to allow the text size to be changed to suit the reader. For me personally (and I appreciate that other people may have different views) that's worth sacrificing the "finer points" of typography for.
