Pros of a PDF—

It’s searchable; any word or phrase is easy to find.

You can work on your manuscript with the PDF open on the same computer. Consider it an editor you can consult as you edit and work through problem areas.

You can print pages as often as you need them, especially useful for the edit and proofing checklists.

If you want to collect chapters or sections (or even the full book) into a notebook, you can; margins are wide enough for hole punching.

A PDF can be read on a variety of computers/devices, including tablets. (An app might be required to improve the reading experience for some devices. Using Adobe Acrobat Reader allows access to bookmarks, a great way to navigate the book.)

Using portable computers and devices, you can carry the book with you.

You can zoom in and out to adjust page size, yet the font is sufficiently large enough for an easy read.

Navigation is easy.
