My $5 cents on that. We do automatic pdf builds at linuxtv.org since when we moved the media books to Sphinx. In order to avoid regressions, we use a virtual environment for Sphinx, and we only update to a newer version after checking if the upgrade won't break build. Currently, it is running Sphinx version 1.4.9. I did a grep on the access for the media.pdf doc at the apache's log. We don't keep a long history there. We had 41 accesses to the pdf logs over the last ~3 days, with means that people are finding PDF output useful. - >From my side, I like having everything into a single file specially when I'm needing to find things at the document. Well, ePub sort of provides that, but it is a way worse than PDF or html, specially when big tables are there. Btw, over the last ~3 days, we had only 1 access to the ePub version. So, not a very popular format.
