I just saw that you have created ... SIX different documents for different devices!!!

Exactly my point!

And why six documents and not ten? Or 20?

We need a format with just one document, not multiple.

Latex and pdf were created for printed paper, not for screens. Sure, there are people who learned to use these formats and they don't want to learn anything else. This does not change the fact that those are printed paper formats. Tex and Latex are around for 30 years and they are marginal formats at best. They are not going to get more popular in the future, they will slowly disappear.


(The topic is: which format will win?)
