Isn’t zooming in and having text reflow a feature, not a bug, of HTML? PDFs are pretty much impossible to read on a phone because of the endless amount of zooming in and out and horizontal scrolling (unless they were designed for mobile — and then they’re hard to read on a desktop). Never mind users on a desktop who just like their text large for ease of reading — their screen might not be wide enough to fit the text without horizontally scrolling.

As an author, my intent is that the content be easily readable to all readers. I don’t see why I should want or get to dictate the layout and aesthetics to my readers.
