Why reflowing is making bitmaps instead of using normal sharp looking font?
See question #3 in my FAQ. k2pdfopt re-flows graphically, which does not lend itself to using native PDF output to re-flow. It lays out the graphical pieces on a bitmap instead. The bitmap output does have some advantages--it is typically easier to process for the e-books and displays quickly.
