god knows i spend a lot of time defending epub until i'm blue in the face but i think valloric's position is reasonable here and he makes valid points. to address just one :
wrapping code in pre elements is not a great solution because if i read this on a small screen it means either i zoom and potentially half the code is cut off or i display it small enough so the entire line fits on the screen and the text is too small for me to read.
yes, i love epub for everything it can do, and for novels i can't imagine any reason not to use it, ever. but i also know there are a few specific cases in which pdf is just better, and valloric makes a good case for manuals being one of them.
the hammer / nail analogy seems pretty apt to me.
