Cool!
Yeah,it is, indeed. It still does not seem useful to me. I think that PDF was conceived for fixed pagination, therefore reflowing is both unnatural (for the file) and useless (if there are images, then reflowing is pointless, you are still stuck with display size).
Pdf compared to mobipocket is definitly superior, just compare the same book (I used Feedbooks) in both formats and there is no game, PDF looks more "finished". Personally I shall wait for the 9.7" devices, they should make the difference, with them reflowing shall be forgotten (eventually they will be available, I suppose), for now I shall happily stick with my Cybook. And mobi ebooks, despite what I said before, because almost nobody will actually offer Cybook size pdf, the exception I know of being Feedbooks
