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.

The potential for quality ePub seems much lower than that for PDF. In fact, I'd like to see a good ePub file on my PRS-505 someday. Anyone got a "cream of the crop" file that can be viewed? I've not seen anything good on this site yet. Of course, I could blame Sony's renderer, but since people are blaming formats for things that are the fault of someone else entirely....
Of course we're not supposed to trust the publishers to deliver content in a proper presentation. We're supposed to expect that they'll forever only be a useless lump that can provide mediocre html files for the end-users to proofread and reformat. As unrealistic as it seems, I hope that they become a bit more progressive than that.

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 Technicaly speaking, pdf is outdated.

It'd be funny if any professional used a program like Calibre. Well it'd be funny after the depression goes away.
