Umm that would almost certainly be with a tagged PDF (i.e. a PDF with reflow information already included) I seriously doubt they'd be able to do dynamic reflow for an untagged PDF on the readers CPU. That means that most of the existing PDF files are still likely to be unusable.

Right now it strips out images, and he said they had some weird bugs to iron out and he said it is a bit slower then they want (though I didn't notice this problem), but it's coming. I can tell they are really behind it and Digital Editions because one of my other big points was making books, and he said he's really in touch with the developing community and recommends authoring in PDF at the specifications they give because the reflow will be coming out. He seemed really supportive and impressed with the stuff that is out now though. Great stuff coming if you own a Reader. I'm not sure why this didn't get more attention on the site, unless there was a previous announcement I missed.
