I thought CSS was the major driving factor for ePub? It inherently allows you to override default formatting so as to fit the document to your device and/or personal tastes.
PDF, conversely, is meant to allow the author to dictate exactly how the information will be displayed.
The two formats have completely different goals in mind, so I really doubt anybody here is going to change their mind of which they prefer, nor will we find a decent middle ground.
Here's an idea...just follow Fictionwise's example and give us a choice of formats for the same book!
As for me, I still prefer the eReader format for my portable devices. Small, simple, scalable, and available on multiple platforms. However, it's lack of table and monospace font support is annoying, so I'll welcome the ePub format when reader software becomes widely available.
And of course...I prefer PDFs on my computer.
Explain to me again why I need to chose one over the other?
