I believe the apps (and Kindle Fire) also require you to embed an ASIN, using the Quality Check plugin. And send-to-Kindle changes everything. Including marking everything as a personal document.

As for the PDFs, maybe 'reflow' isn't the best word to use, but my point was, text-based PDFs would be treated pretty much the same on my old Sony as would an EPUB - in other words, enlarging the font would not be the same as zooming (and then scrolling around the zoomed page as if it's an image), but would simply make the font bigger and effectively treat it as an EPUB. Does the Paperwhite not do this to textual PDFs?
That is reflowable text -- I wonder why Sony doesn't dominate the ereader industry if they're sitting on the secret to reliable line unwrapping in PDFs?

My Kindle Touch just zooms in, and I'm pretty sure the later models do, too. I didn't actually know this was possible.
