Then you have to update Reader, which nullifies any convenience of not having to install anything. This has been my experience with Reader for many years; YMMV.PDFs attempt to simulate a physical document (real or virtual) in a digital form. The layout and formatting of the document is fixed, regardless of the device used to consume it. I can't change the font size of a PDF or adjust the page size, but I can zoom in or out and scroll around the virtual page. The display is the same regardless what device I use to consume the content (printer, laptop, smartphone, etc.). This is by design, and what made PDF popular in a paper-centric world.E-book formats designed for digital consumption invert these requirements. The document layout and format change according to the device used to consume it; there's no zoom and pan, you can change the font however you like, and the page size is handled by the display and not an attribute of the document. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB" target="_blank">ePub</a> and the like are entirely device independent. The Kindle AZW format is proprietary, but not device dependent; Amazon has Kindle apps for all the relevant platforms, except LINUX (ironic, since the Kindle is a Linux device).</blockquote>
