I gather the 700 can zoom as well as reflow, which would help in some cases. And it works fine on many PDFs. (I'm trying to sort out how tagged vs non-tagged PDFs are different.)

But yeah... the PDF support is poor, unless you either make your own PDFs, or get them from somewhere like Feedbooks.com that formats them to Reader-sized pages. It's not so much the Reader's fault as the various publishers--they don't use the options that are possible for PDFs, that would make them work better on small readers. (Tagging. Bookmarks. Metadata. Cropping out whitespace. And so on.)
