We study the Gromov-Hausdorff and Kadets distances between C(K)-spaces and their quotients. We prove that if the Gromov-Hausdorff distance between C(K) and C(L) is less than 1/16 then K and L are homeomorphic. If the Kadets distance is less than one, and K and L are metrizable, then C(K) and C(L) are linearly isomorphic. For K and L countable, if C(L) has a subquotient which is close enough to C(K) in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense then K is homeomorphic to a clopen subset of L.

In this paper we bring together the different known ways of establishing the continuity of the integral over a uniformly integrable set of functions endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. We use these techniques to study Pettis integrability, as well as compactness in C(K) spaces endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence on a dense subset D in K.
