Most of my PDF's are of computer books where they supplied a CD with the book that contained program samples and a PDF of the book. I don't think the publisher expected anyone to print the book from the PDF, instead they included it so people could easily search the PDF and maybe copy and paste sample code.
In these instances PDF reflow would be nice to have. I don't need the PDF document to look 100% identical to the printed book, I just would like to read the text without having to scroll left and right as well as up and down. I wouldn't even mind too much if all of the images were stripped out.
I think there's definitely a need for PDF reflow, and people aren't expecting it to be perfect.
Of course if the screen was larger then we wouldn't need reflow, as the PDF viewer works fine. It's just for us that need to zoom in a bit in order to read the text, and that's where the left to right scrolling kicks in because the Kobo is trying to keep the document looking the same.
