As an academic, the ability to read PDFs is absolutely critical. I like reading books, but the vast majority of my reading is conference proceedings and journal articles. While I understand that they're hard to transfer (in particular, the two-column LNCS/ACM format), just writing them off seems like a missed opportunity.
- DannoHung 17y agoI do wonder, if we see a large rise in Netbook popularity, if that two-column format will die. They already look pretty terrible compared to even good web formatting and I can't imagine that reading the PDFs of them on eBooks are going to go without complaint.
