PDF works great if your e-reader has an 8.5*11 size viewing area. Alas, none of 
them do.

I recently bought a science "ebook" that turned out to be a pdf of the print 
version. It is frankly unreadable on any ebook devices. The only way I could 
read it was to throw it up on my 28" desktop monitor.

(It was a good book regardless of the cluelessness of the author on how to do an 
ebook.)
