I guessed it was possible, but I would not want to do that process for every books I read. I hoped that it would now be possible to just add another fonts.

On the jetBook, a no go. To get the full page, the font is so small it is unreadable, even to a youngsters eyes I would think, and when one zooms scroll bars appear on the side and bottom, making pleasant reading impossible. I called Ectaco and I was not offered a solution. If that is pdf reflow, the jetBook doesn't have it. Maybe someone here has a conversion process/app to suggest for me?
Reflow is just that. From the Mobileread Wiki :

Some devices have problems with PDF since most content available is scaled for either A4 or letter format, both of which are not easily readable when reduced to fit on small screens. Some Readers can reflow some PDF documents, including the Sony PRS505, to accommodate the small screen.
Several Newegg users reviews are also pointing out that the Jetbook is very bad for PDF, but I hoped the update improved that, like the one for the Sony Reader did.
I hope the other new formats are better supported.

If you are looking for a converter for PDF, there are several of them. I used them a lot with my previous reader (Windows Mobile smartphone with µBook Reader).
Mobipocket Creator is the best free one.
Convert Doc is a little better, especially for files with images, but is quite expensive. A trial version is available.

The problem is that they don't works very well with PDF that have images with caption, footnotes, text insert, etc. In that case the text is all messed up.
