Re: Rethinking Ebooks for Web Browsers

>>When I saw my first Kindle I was astonished at how dinky it was. I was accustomed to the way Adobe PDF documents looked and couldn't believe that a Kindle document wasn't allowed to look like your typical page from a slick magazine. PDF documents are so easy to produce and you can have pictures and videos as opposed to something that looks like an etch-a-sketch drawing. Someone needs to get on the stick and do better. <<

It's not a question of better or worse.  It's a question of "different."  A main advantage of the Kindle approach is that the reader can with a single click change the size of the font for their convenience.  This can't happen with a PDF.  I recently read half of "Moby Dick" comfortably on my smartphone during a long train ride.  This could never happen with a PDF.
