I've found PDFs to be the least flexible format and not even worth the time, effort, or trouble to load or convert onto a reading device. I'm not about to spend $500 for a Kindle DX just to read a nicely formatted PDF. (And reviews of PDF on the Kindle DX are still kind of lukewarm.) If something is published only as a PDF, then it is not worth reading. “We found PDFs to be the most flexible for readers to use on reading devices.”
