Well, guess what? Magazines and newspapers won't stay in the same format. Their current form is a reflection of the limitations of text. It'd be better to look at their website, and realise with wifi a HTML rendering engine is not much different to ePuB's XHTML one, and indeed I'd not be surprised to see a spinoff standard handle that.

PDF is a dead end for that, it cannot handle dynamic content.
You're making less and less sense with each post in increasingly authoritative tones, despite clearly having a loose grasp on the subject being discussed.

Did you add JSWolf as a friend yet?

And what on earth do you think Wi-Fi is????????
