If the point of the author is to have his/her material read by a wider audience, then free or not, providing only a PDF is self defeating. Sure, some will read it on their "big screen" PC and a few will spend hours converting it to something useful on an ebook reader. Not me, and not many others are willing to go through this hassle any more. There is too much other material by too many other authors that we can be reading without dealing with PDF. If you want more readers, make it easier for them to actually read your stuff.

The Mobipocket Reader converts it from .pdf in seconds (literally) by just dragging and dropping. From there it's automatically uploaded to my Kindle via USB.
I can't see anything to complain about given so little effort especially when I'm not being charged for the privilege of reading the book. (And though it's not my usual genre, I've downloaded it and am going to give it a look.)
