I have almost the opposite opinion to the author on the use of PDFs. I quite enjoy the experience of reading PDFs as opposed to just about any other e-document format, at least for the types of documents where PDFs are typically an option (e.g. books, magazines, and scholarly papers). In particular, the points they specifically call out about the difficulties with PDFs are either contrary to my experience or irrelevant to me: They cite: "... difficult to browse, impossible to read on a phone, uncomfortable to read on a tablet, hostile to screen readers, impractical to search engines ..." Browsability: I use Calibre [1] as an e-document library and PDFs are a first class citizen. It is a lovely piece of software for which I have few complaints and much praise. Phone and tablet readability: I've used a mix of GoodReader and more recently Documents on my iPhones and iPads and have never had troubles with reading PDFs on them. Screen reader access: I'm not much of a screen reader user, so no comment. Impractical to search: While you may occasionally need to go to an extra step to search PDF collections, it's hardly impractical and there are many performant options. Calibre includes a full-text indexing feature for your whole document library, to name one. Am I in the minority here for actually preferring PDFs? 1: https://calibre-ebook.com/
