Yes, reflow will likely work if your PDF's are almost all text and are NOT scanned as images (if you can select the text with Adobe Reader you're good). I don't think of reflow because the PDF's I do use wouldn't reflow well anyway.

I did start off with a non-lit reader. With the older technology good lighting is a must (in my experience I needed more light than with a paper book). I never felt the need for a external light though (always just used a lamp) so I can't comment on that. I can say that while I bought my current reader (Kobo Glo) for reasons other than the front-light, and I didn't really figure I'd use the light, I always leave it on while reading. It just gives that extra little bit of light and evens things out and makes reading easier.
