For reasons I articulated elsewhere at length (and will try not to bore people with here), there is as much chance of PDF not becoming the primary eBook format as there is of water being replaced in the washing/bathing process.

The idea doesn't violate the laws of physics... but it is difficult to conceive how it could possibly happen, assuming you give thought to all the requirements and understand the principles of both bookmaking and typography, neither of which are any less relevant to eBooks than they are to paper books, and neither of which is possible to ignore for most publications the way it is (with horribly unaesthetic results) for uncomplicated novels.

But a disagreement on a specific issue should not altogether kibosh a nicely developing sympatico moment.
