PDF is not reflowable and results in a crappy reading experience unless the device screen size is just right.
- cicero 6y agoPDF is ultimately for paper when you care about how the content fits on each page. A reflowable format will have to at some point be rendered to pages if one is to go to paper, and I can't think of anything better than PDF for storing that rendering.
- k_sze 6y agoepub is basically many html files packaged together and indexed. So rendering for printing can be taken care of with the right media-querying CSS.
