Earlier in the thread, SameerH mentions how their team tried to get PDF reflow included for the 1.4 firmware, but couldn't do so in time as the functionality was occasionally buggy. It seems to me then that PDF reflow is a likely possibility for future firmware updates, if not the next itself.

Admittedly however, I've stopped reading PDFs on the Kobo. I've read several PDFs on my 350 which supports PDF reflow, and am very happy with the experience (portrait mode with font resizing, yessss). All of those PDFs I read are just fiction in an inconvenient format however -- my library loves buying vampire and crime fiction in PDF, apparently -- and I agree something like the Kindle DX would be better for those big reference or scanned PDFs.

EDIT: Also @51Bush, does B&N sell the Nook to NZ, or did you have to use a mail forwarding service to get it? Just curious.
