It would be nice if the PDF reader could reflow the text, and zooming in is not like zooming into an image where you have to pan around to continue reading.

I would not mind converting the pdf file to epub if it would work this way in the reader.

searching and annotating would be a great plus
I understand that some readers can reflow, but many PDFs are not reflowable (is that a word? well, it is now ).

Don't get me started on software publishers who not only refuse to include a paper manual in the box, but keep producing their PDF manuals as if they were going to be read in print. At least they could make PDFs decently formatted for on-screen viewing, with a table of content and links.

Anyway, I will keep an eye on the future Pocketbook 90*, when and if they become available. A Pocketbook representative said on the French forum that PBs have a functionality that helps with reading two-column text on PDFs. Has anybody tested that yet?
