It's been mentioned here in the forums before. You don't get a lot of choices for heavy PDF support with ereaders. Adobe is, ironically, one of the worst at supporting it.
The Adobe RMSDK does support PDF reflow:
www.adobe.com/devnet/readermobile.html

While it is listed as a "New Feature" I'm pretty sure it has done this for at least a couple of years.

That said, I have never found reflow a very pleasant reading experience as there are usually many formatting artifacts that must be tolerated.

Sony probably has the best support and the most options (including reflow and on-device cropping).

BTW are you SURE Kobo does not have reflow? on Sony (and Nook ST) when you adjust the font size it invokes reflow.
