Yeah. And even, that still won't solve the big problem pdf have. It's the fact it can't be edited, or converted into something else properly. Mobi can be annoying for that, but pdf is worse.

Pdf might sounds nice because it's probably the ones used for printed edition. But if the publishers wants to make pdf for 6", they're most likley to be badly formated (And there, you're screwed, see point one).
