Neverless I don't agree that Bookeen sells a product that does what it says. In their web site they don’t specify the PDF limitations, in the specs it is very clear that the PDF is a supported format; I am not a technology expert, so, I have to guess that the PDF files have limitations?. If that were clearly specified I wouldn’t bought the Cybook. Now I can’t change it for some other device
That's the thing: NO other device of this size can display all pdf files correctly (in fact, of all the devices I've tried, the bookeen had the least trouble), simply because of the fact that almost all PDF documents are designed for A4 format, where reflowing text isn't always possible.

You might want to take a look at the iLiad: it's an A4 e-reader and therefore the only e-reader capable of displaying PDF correctly. Disadvantages: because of it's size it's not convenient to take it along with you and it is VERY expensive.
