I am not sure where that interpretation came from. PDF is a complex subject (see the wiki for details). eReader is not a PDF reader at all. It reads its own format which is documented in the wiki article on this site on eReader. Many reading devices do offer PDF reading capability on their devices. It is always a totally different set of code inside the reader to do this as it is a unique format. Some readers even use a separate application to read the PDF while others use the same wrapper application to read it. The second approach is usually preferable from a user perspective but may cause problems with user expectations since it typically won't behave exactly the same as documents in other formats.
I cannot speak for the manufacturers of unreleased products as to what and how their products may or may not work. However I know that getting the fictionwise code for eReader will not help at all in doing PDF. eReader reads its on PML format and PalmDOC (both documented in the wiki) but nothing else as it stands today.
PDF format is a released ISO standard so anyone can code from the specifications if they wish to.
