There are conversion programs but there are many different kinds of PDF files out there with all kinds of special formatting needs. Some converters so an excellent job on some files but none of the converters can handle all of the files except for the ones that just turn them into JPG images and then display the image. When it is an image you hit the same problem of size onces again. Once they are shrunk to reader size you can't read them.

Currently none of the readers except PDA's support reflow in a PDF file so even if the reflow is set up and working properly in the PDF the readers don't know how to use it anyway.
