If it means we have to scroll...count me out.

Yup. That's why I think that the "Zoom and Pan" won't work out like people want.

Well, that's the problem. There's no such thing as a "reflowable PDF" (at least I have yet to encounter such a thing). PDF is a page layout format. You define how you want the page to look and the reader will make the page look that way no matter what device you are viewing it on.
But that's the problem with using it as an eBook format. If the PDF is not formatted for the device you are trying to read it on (like a PDF formatted for an 8.5"x11" page with large margins), it's unreadable on a device like the iLiad (or any other eInk reader in the wings).
