As for reflowing - I don't know about PDFs being "tagged" with some property, but I found that almost every PDF that I've tried was reflowable on both Sony and Irex readers. Images were problematic - sometimes they were left as they were, sometimes they were scaled, sometimes they were gone.

But yes, lack of proper reflow (among other things) resulted in me deciding that I'll get better value out of Sony PRS-650. Let's hope Amazon will be nice and they'll add reflow to Kindle.
