PDF unfit for human consumption?

Jacob Nielsen seems to thinks so...

Extract:
Users get lost inside PDF files, which are typically big, linear text blobs that are optimized for print and unpleasant to read and navigate online. PDF is good for printing, but that's it. Don't use it for online presentation.

First it was Flash, now Nielsen turns his attention on to PDF. I wonder what he will have to say about Flash Paper, which is sorta like PDF in Flash
