And a search just a minute ago shows these numbers:
Google for "djvu" -- ~1,640,000 hits
Google for "pdf" -- ~435,000,000 hits

<sarcasm>
Gee, it's popularity just grew by over half a million hits in less
than one day and pdf dropped over 5 million.  Just as valid
non-anecdotal evidence it's popularity is taking off and pdf is
plummetting in popularity.
</sarcasm>

What is the magical number djvu must surpass not to be obscure anyway?
That wasn't listed in the definition for the word.
