I would speak to many more people regarding how they read things and you will find outside the tech industry fixed formats are king and there is no sign this is going to ever go away. Academia, education, business and finance included at least in my case.
Bar the GitHub markdown and inevitable confluence in tech, I don’t see this anywhere else. It’s Word, people writing fixed size pages on their iPads and consuming vast amounts of physical documents. In fact when it comes to technical publishing, dynamic layouts almost always fall to pieces.
PDF, or at least the less Adobe subset that falls out of typesetting software, while not ideal is the least bad interchange format we have for this.
The only close thing I see is ebooks but I hear regular complaints appear from people who lose the concept of “page” when using those.
Gemini I am interested in and will research further.
