I tried it on the paper I uploaded before, and the equations are still there and correct, so that's an improvement over PDF reflow on the device.
FYI, a version of k2pdfopt w/OCR (using tesseract) is in the works so that some search capability is preserved. Output will still be graphics, but with searchable text as a hidden overlay. Main k2pdfopt forum is here.
