A PDF made to fit the 6" eink screen with small or no margins, a good font family and in the right font size, PDF can look quite good. It can have kerning and hyphenation. But what looks good to one can look not so good to another. PDF is basically fixed. I can make a PDF that would look good to me on my 505 but maybe someone else needs a larger font size or doesn't like my choice of font. PDF being fixed makes it the worst choice for eBooks. ePub without DRM is the best choice. If I don't like your margins, or font choice or even the font size, I can go and change that.
