An OCR'd or converted PDF is in theory reflowable. Once you start adding graphics and photos that makes reflow problematic (since they can't easily be reflowed).

PDF is designed to keep formatting etc the way it was originally designed which makes it less than ideal for reflow.

Couldn't page numbers be kept using a page-map for the epub (not impossible, but probably tedious)?
