Making it "just work" on an ebook reader with a screen a fourth of that size is no easy task.
Quite frankly, I'm shocked their conversions work as well as they do. But hopefully as things like this become more common we'll see more things put into PDF formats that are easier to deal with. No double columns, etc.

Sadly it seems many people won't buy a reader if PDF isn't in the bullet-point list of features. They don't realize it sucks and is therefore relatively insignificant until they try it. I give Amazon some credit for listing the conversion as "Experimental" rather than just saying they support it. They realize they can't support it well so they don't mislead you into thinking it's going to work the way most people would expect it to.
