the big disadvantage of pdf is that you can't reflow the text to match your screen/font size.
having documentation on an e-reader (kindle/nook) can be a great thing, if your documentation is only in pdf, this is a problem

Also, there are readers for e-book formats for desktop Linux as well. (They probably require ripping out of Calibre by the roots, though.)
e-book formats are not ideal, but they're a lot better for reading text than PDF ever was. The *readers* are not ideal, but just because the Kindle doesn't do Tex-style autohyphenation (or break on hyphens at all) doesn't mean that a desktop e-book reader cannot.

Try FBReader - it works great on mobile phones/readers and it does autohyphenation (based on locale settings).
