Kobo is a company that has created an e-reader primarily so that people can read e-pubs purchased from Kobo. They've gone the extra mile to distinguish themselves by allowing books from numerous different sources. But it escapes me why they should put time, effort & money into a feature that would benefit only a tiny minority of their potential users.
I am rather curious about something... where do people get novels in PDF? I can't think of any place that sells novels in PDF only. For the simple reason that PDFs are a lousy format for e-readers...

Yes, of course, reflow should be an option. Default to not reflow if you like, then - problem solved.
Most libraries I use, powered by Overdrive, offer PDFs for many of the books. I agree, epub is becoming / has become more prevalent - thank goodness.
