At least mostly, and its pointless to blame the reader when the result is the same. I still have to make PDFs. In the future, I may not need to do so for every book, and that day will be nice. I'm not going the whole nine yards and manually kerning
everything, but things like competent paragraph composition and hyphenation and basic kerning would make things much more tolerable. I am not thinking about the potential of it one day when someone actually supports it in a reading device. On a computer today, there's no reason for me to bother with epub, and on an ebook device today, it looks like the work of a damaged toddler (especially on my Sony).
I'm all for the future, yay. When it's good, I'll use it. Until then, I won't.
