The real problem is that PDF is not a format for electronic books. Because it hardcodes paper size and layout, it is not independant of the media. PDF is a format for digital rendering of printouts. As long as this will not be understood, then the problem will stick. (and this also applies to people who think PDF is also for the web) And to fall back on the subject of Maemo, this problem shows when the "User's Manual" for the N800 is provided as a PDF on the device... and the inline help tries to refer to it.
