Exactly.
And because of that the choice is : a perfectly typesetted pdf, working for only a part of the population, or an almost perfect ePub, working for everyone. Choice there should be obvious isn't it ?
And that's why i think hardback will survive e-books for a long while, e-books will never make it for a properly edited hardback.

I though that was how pdf worked, but then, i don't really know how pdf works so.
