Can you explain what you mean by this? When would this be handy?

I have not seen that one, but with most attempts at "pdf reflow" you are left with things "flowed" together that should not be. Do you think that if for the pdfs you want to read, you slip into landscape mode, and zoom to the max without requiring panning (to take off the side margins), you would get good enough pdf rendering without the two problems you mention? I think that is good enough for most typical books and is quite easy to do.

I agree PDF reflow is not yet really refined. There might be 'tags/codes' in PDFs that could be read for a better conversion but I don't know if that's the case.
The problems with the zooming is that when you've zoomed, turning the page is a hassle because you have to slide to the edge, press next page and position the page again. With reflow (as rough as it is) it just works like you're used to with an ebook and for most PDFs (not books per se) it is okay enough. I would user PDF and MOBI for books and PDF for documents.
Of course you could also open up the Kobo Books app as a cataloging tool like Calibre with conversion of PDFs included. It's now still two separate programs which could be more user friendly. To use the metaphor of iTunes again. It has a store, plays DRM protected MPEG4's and MP3s but is also capable of playing songs that are bought elsewhere. And it can also convert ALAC (sort of FLAC by Apple) to MP3.
Thanks for your time, best regards,
Jan
