Er, the new *50 models all support reflow, and their PDF handling capabilities are better than the original Kobo's, in my opinion. It depends on the complexity of the document, but the majority of my library PDFs, all novels, have reflowed very well. I don't usually have to use zoom on these PDFs, which is good because I find zoom cumbersome. Reflow is one of the features that pleases me very much about my 350.

That said, I'd much rather my library stop buying PDFs altogether -- their collection of PDFs is double their collection of EPUBs. I hate PDFs as an ebook format, and I don't really see the point of even PDFs formatted specifically for a 5" or 6" screen... *grumbles*
