It depends upon how the PDF was authored. If the text flow follows the column, then it will work. If the text flow goes across the columns, it will be ugly.

The rendering engine code for both PDF and ePub are shared for ADE and the Sony Reader. However the Sony Reader is using different processor with different memory overhead, and a screen of a different resolution and bit depth. There will be differences, hopefully small and appropriate for the situation.

I'm an engineer not marketing. That question is not technical and involves Sony's future plans, so a big ole "No Comment" from me.

Improving the quality of our rendering engines are always a priority. Please report a bug on the ADE Forum http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc43717/ Extra bonus points applied for providing sample for QA to test against.
