PDF or HTML (Bookie?)  PDF is inexorably presentation-oriented; I've never
seen it reflow lines to fit a screen.  HTML, originally invented as
semantic-oriented can do much better (unless the author compulsively defeats
it).

Page numbers are another presentation anachronism: section numbers should
suffice.

Breaking a publication into Part 1, Part 2, ... to satisfy the restrictions
of hardcopy binding is even worse.
