The article is about online or for me, on laptop, but I also have a 32GB Kindle Paperwhite on to which I download a ton of PDFs, mostly papers but some books. For example, I concatenated Onur Mutlu's Architecture lecture slides into a one GB PDF file. I like that that the papers look like papers and that the fonts and graphics are rendered correctly. Links work but I don't use them. However, PDFs on the Paperwhite don't make for easy reading. I could and have converted papers to EPUB which is much easier for reading but less good for studying, and the purpose of these PDFs is studying. Yeah, I can grouse about PDFs but it's a tool which I use. By comparison, I check EPUBs out from the library and they are surprisingly pleasant to read on the Paperwhite. Yeah, the article is about the web and I'm answering about the Paperwhite. Maybe they have a point about browsing on the web. But for content meant to be read, for academic content, PDFs are pretty good. BTW, on my MacBook I use Skim which is much better than Reader.
