For a methodology for comparing PDF capabilities, see
eBook Reader PDF Capabilities which is used in the
E-book Reader Matrix. So far, this row is blank for the Nook.
Many EInk devices are using mobile Adobe Digital Editions for PDFs, but there can still be a huge difference in capabilities. The worst are the Kindles, and a Sony PRS-300 is typical for a basic device with:

Full Page; Landscape; Single Page Reflow; Table of Contents; Hyperlinks;

The PocketBooks are currently best of the ADE-based devices, with:

Full Page Continuous; Landscape Continuous; Two Column; Manual Crop Margins; Autocrop Margins; Single Page Reflow; Zoom Images in Reflow (?); Table of Contents; Hyperlinks; Text Search; Dictionary Lookup;

So far I have seen little difference in the single-page reflow capability between devices. This may mean that reflow has not improved since the old mobile ADE version in the Sony devices, or that the lack of a screenshot capability on most EInk Readers make differences hard to document. The easily documented difference is the number of font sizes in reflow.
