If it were that easy, then PDF-->HTML and PDF-->text conversion results would all have flawless and meaningful output. But they don't. Maybe someday.

IMHO, if you're going to have a lot of PDFs in your life, and you've even found flow/conversion software that you generally like and trust, x times out of 10 it's going to fail to produce something which will allow you to be productive.

I'd think that for when you find yourself in that position, you'd want a device in your hands that can just simply render the damn thing reasonably, already. e-ink is not that device today. A screen the size of the Glo's is not that device today.
