Generally true but Koreader (or even the Kindle PDF reader) shows that it is quite feasible. Most readers don’t need to pan around files all day, just a nice way to view and annotate one and two column PDFs, something that Koreader is quite capable of (and I would assume that Kobo could easily fork that engine and add some bells and whistles, after all, they are selling PDFs in their shop)...
