@pesco @OpinionatedGeek @amoroso @davidgerard My preference is PDF. Well, probably DVI but that's dead ;-). I bought a Boox color specifically to be able to read tech books, reflow is nice for pure prose, but it breaks down when you start caring about page layout.
(and yes, I know there are accessibility advantages, people with dyslexia can use their preferred fonts, etc; I'll do my darnest best to make the epub acceptable for those reasons, but I'll never call it "nice" ;-))

@cdegroot i get where you're coming from. i have a thing or two for exacting layout and typography etc. ;) a large-format reader might not be a bad idea to get, but for the moment i have a 2nd gen kindle oasis which matches "reading PDFs works" but not "PDF is a good format for it". /cc @OpinionatedGeek @amoroso @davidgerard
