Maybe in the future, but honestly I consider such modes an awful thing. PDF is not (or only secondary) structured text, it's layouted text. But then we have text extraction for PDF already, it just takes developer power to order the extracted lines words, create a (HTML?) document and pass that to the CREngine based reader.

@lesen54321: Well, I think it looks "normal" on your photos. Maybe the navigation is challenging, you should describe what you expect to work differently. But the look of the pages seems to be right.
Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with muPDF, but I did successfully compile and run an earlier version, and it was quite nice.

After dpavlin's post, I figured from his details that you are probably just displaying a portion of the rendered image (or a portion of the original full-page image).

Sorry about the misdirection.

If you want to reflow text, perhaps calibre can do that for you. Personally, I prefer zooming on a PDF file to preserve its page layout format, but there were times with viewing PDF files on my palm pilot PDA (much smaller screen) that I really needed text reflow. I would think that is not needed with a 600x800 screen.
