Some ancient pirated 3.0 books I found on a burned CD a few months back and threw onto Google Drive (the CD was barely readable and I was unable to recover half the files on it). It's a *big* file. 29k for <100 pages. And it looks like absolute crap. No hyperlinks, no bookmarks, no OCR. The pages change size every few pages. The text is blurry and the images have the pixelated artifacts of a bad JPEG conversion.In theory PDFs wills still be usable in 15 years. I'm not sure if you'll want to use one at that point. Assuming your rollable iPad 3D-X will have an app that even reads them...</blockquote>
