This is correct and the reason why we tried to preserve dimensions and offer a pan / zoom vs. reflow in the first launch.

However, based on everyone's feedback it's clear that reflowing PDF's is much desired.

We tried to include PDF reflow in the version 1.4 firmware but ran into some unexplainable crashes and ran out of time. We had no choice except to hang our heads and pull out the feature.

It was quite disappointing as it was in the top 5 most requested features. It's still on our list of things to do and we hope to get to it soon.
