With ePub, I can edit it to fit my needs, with PDF, if it doesn't fit my needs, then it's useless. How is useless better then something I can edit?

My needs may be something as simple as changing the margins because I prefer no margins. Or changing the base font because I prefer a different font. But PDF gives me none of these options. It is as it is and if it as it is, it is not suitable, then it is useless. That is one major reason why PDF will never work as an eBook format.
