As near as I recall, until Adobe's Mobile Reader 9 release a few years back, AMR did not support reflow. OTOH, it does support PDF and ePub with DRM. Since I can download and open a DRMed PDF from the local library, I'd suspect that Kobo is using AMR for both ePub and PDF rendering.

OTOH, since the results I've seen using reflow on my computer were pretty poor and my major need is to have PDFs with full page diagrams displayed in a readable size, I will continue to use my iPad for PDFs.
