I suddenly feel guilty for my ignorance.

Am I as a consumer-reader on the topic though I have not the slightest idea about typography technicalities?
Well, my ignorant's 2 cents guess is that in 2 years from now pdf will be an exception on mobile reading devices.
Just because there are hords of ignorants like me who very subjectively find that pdfs are not satisfactory on a small screen.
God have mercy on our souls the day we start to entrust any part of our existence to people specially knowledgable and/or trained to deal/work with said part.

It's COMMUNISM, I say!
