I agree. It's hard to resize text or have it easily readable when you put a pdf on an ereader. Not to mention that the size of things like text isn't easy to control when you are trying to read a pdf on eink either. Epubs or Kindle (depending on the format and reader) are easily adjusted for the individual reader's tech by comparison. The reflow when text size is changed for example is even. You can't say that with pdf files though. Plus epubs and kindle ebook are generally smaller (many under 1 mb) than a pdf file is. And really PDF (Portable Document Format) isn't made for easy reading. It's made to make it easier to do things like email a document from say New York to Los Angeles or London England within a companies business needs. It was never really designed to be a practical ereader format.
