You're the same guy who kept whining about ``documents'' and similar stuff in that one thread months ago, aren't you?
While PDFs are definitely less accessible in some ways than plain text, I can't believe you dismiss the entire art of typography and layout. Please tell me I have been trolled and that you're not really that ignorant.
Regarding your ``light bulb'' complaint, inverting the colors of your monitor is easy, and I think some PDF readers even come with a feature to do just that. I am pretty indifferent regarding pages, but there's an obvious reason why they're there.
And finally, you might want to know that we humans read shorter lines faster. This is why it is better to have vertically laid-out text even if it isn't the most optimal way to use screen space (oh the horror!).
