I've emailed the author and asked for a reflowable copy.
Get a PRS 700 and you will change your opinion about pdf's and reading on a device.

Patriot Witch does not interest me that much, but I dlwd'it, used BeCYPdf to put proper metadata without opening it and dumped it on the 700, all in about 2 minutes.

It reads very nicely even at S font, while at M font it reflows well, and of course you always have the option of reading half page if you do not like the reflow.

The page turn is a bit slower than with a lrf but acceptable, and search, go to page and so on work nicely.

Before the 700 I would have completely agreed with the above, but now I actually like reading pdf's on my PRS...
