In fact, I would argue that a PDF file is good only for printing out a hard copy, which is what it was designed to do.

AT first I was going to say, you've got it backward, the PDF is a poor platform for viewing on a small device, but your second sentence indicates that's what you meant. PDF's are just a terrible means of reading electronic text on anything smaller than a DX. For mobile use, they are virtually useless. At my library we have over 50,000 journals online and 95% of them are PDF. Look good on the computer monitor, not so good on the phone.
