A PDF does not reflow its text content according to the display size.
So if you have a small screen or wish bigger fonts, you have to spend
all your time scrolling. It's harder to change the text colors (think
about visually impaired users). I don't know about text-to-speech with
wkhtmltopdf but most solutions are working fine with web browsers.

PDF are great when you print. For online uses, really, nope (unless you
want the feeling of a book — but we are not doing a book).
