I do agree, especially on

- It's self-contained. It can easily be transferred between devices and read without an Internet connection. - It's a file. Yes, it's important to mention because in 2024, files cannot be taken for granted.

(Btw it’s a sad state of affairs that we can less and less own our files)

But I do think in the post here, the issue is that the PDF in itself is pretty useless : it doesn’t contain any information and only links to … websites.

(Btw I wouldn’t criticize this a lot because I’m admirative of the indexation work, it’s pretty cool !)
