Bill McCoy mentioned in his blog, that Sony Reader wont support PDF reflow.

Quote:
The version of mobile/device PDF shipping with the Sony Reader 1.0 does not utilize advanced "Tagged PDF" structure information, which the desktop Adobe Reader uses to implement accessibility and reflow features. So, no, PDFs on this device are fixed-format. Admittedly, fixed-format pages are not a great match to a 6-inch display, especially when many PDFs are essentially created as print masters. Indeed this is arguably the primary reason that Sony had to support BBeB: although it has structure capabilites, PDF doesn't really solve the problem of efficiently and reliably representing flowable content that doesn't necessarily even have a single canonical paginated representation.
