A couple reasons:
  • I prefer to page rather than scroll down
  • When the PDF page fits the full screen, a single click brings up a full page of new text; with the browser, a single click is just a few lines
Also, I was able to put the entire book into a single file, which has several advantages. At the time I made it, I expected the links to work and I thought having an index with workable links on the Nokia Internet Tablet would be useful for reference.
