Actually PDF has had reflow on PDA's for a long time and it is not how its always been done. On PDA the flow works from page to page and the chapters still usually start at the top of the page as expected. This intelligence is built into the reflow mechanism on tagged files. I think there was a conscience decision on the Digital Editions folks (who are not the same folks as the PDF folks at Adobe) to maintain the page structure to match the paper book. I believe this should be fixed or made an option in the Digital Reader program.

While there is nothing that a user can do to directly fix this problem they can complain to Adobe and perhaps, with enough complaints, the Digital Editions team will fix it. Then at some point Sony will provide the fix as an upgrade. Keep those cards and letters going.
