and "Fit Width" options are available/not disabled, and the page is displayed as if it were
an image of the full page. This provides the best display of the graphics and text
features, as they would normally appear if the screen of the JBL were large enough to do
the page justice. To be able to see parts of that full page image, at a larger, more
readable, size on the JBL's smaller screen you need to zoom into the image.

With the Reflow on (and the Menu item "Reflow OFF" showing) the Text is treated as
separate from the graphic data on the page and the text display on the JBL can be
formatted to fit the JBL's screen size.

Now to address your question, I don't know how Adobe is implementing the Reflow or
if the Adobe Mobile Reader as implemented on the JBL offers any ability to control the
display of the Reflowed Text, for font size or line spacing. I would guess that the reflow
starts with the text from the PDF at a size related to the normal full page display of the
PDF. Zooming with the Reflow on could be effectively zooming the page image of the
PDF that Adobe is using to extract the Text for reflow. But I don't know.

Where do you find Reflow on and off? Not to mention Adobe Mobile? Neither of my JBLs have those. They both use Foxit Reader. Now, my JBLs do have a Fit Width option that eliminates margins on image only PDFs. Between that, the zoom, and the choice between portrait and landscape pretty much gives me the options I need to make my PDFs readable.
