It's nice that the SDk can support PDF reflow, but the epub2 standard did not require that device manufacturers program for it. Very few of them chose to do it. My understanding has been (and please correct me if I am not getting this right) that it didn't work all that well for things with large images, illustrations, tables etc. when viewed on smaller devices.

I don't expect that Kobo will make any additions to epub2 support, at this point. I think that we are pretty much stuck with what we are seeing now until epub2 goes away and whatever is in the pipeline for epubs with the new standard replaces it. There may be some fixes possible through the driver for folks who use calibre--though I'm betting not reflowable PDFs.

Maybe this is one "problem" that is best solved by using a bigger device. Maybe that 13 inch Sony that is being talked about?
