My Astak EZ Reader is much better in reflowing pdf files.
But there is Calibre to convert your pdf to mobi so it's doable. I just don't know about ebooks that has graphs and such. Mine is purely for reading fiction novels.

Conversion, and reflow, is a crap shoot (for much the same reasons: many PDFs are not tagged to define reading order, structure, etc.). It only takes a couple of minutes to crop most PDFs so they are readable in their original layout, provided you can tolerate small text and don't mind if the headers/footers are missing (Kindle shows PDF page numbers so having headers or footers with the same information is a waste of space).
And reading in landscape mode is not bad either since it automatically crops whitespace.
I'd like to have reflow as an option as well, but I'm pretty happy even without it.
