I'm sorry... but people need to get it through their head that as long as they need to edit their eBooks, the eBook is fundamentally broken and not worth whatever money was paid for it.

True. And the one time i had to do it, i asked a refund.
But do you think pdf will alway be perfectly formated ? editing ePub is easier, and the publishers don't manage that. Think again ! Pdf can be badly formated. And comming from the publishers, they will be. But you won't be able to fix it, you're totally screwed.
And there are tons of others reasons you might want to edit e-books.
ePub CAN look good, where the publishers doing their job.

Are you asking what happens when an eBook is badly made? And suggesting that badly made eBooks are the reason PDF is not a viable eBook format?

Nope, because, in term of programming, ePub is way easier. Why do you think calibre's pdf support is crap ? Certainly not because of Kovid.
Plus, ePub was created and thought for that. It will do a better job than pdf with a few improvement and once used properly. Technicaly speaking, pdf is outdated.
