Gotta give people some time, especially on a holiday weekend; half an hour is not a long wait.
How good PDFs look on the PRS-505 depends a lot on how they were designed in the first place. I find I can read most ebook-formatted PDFs (as opposed to letter/A4-sized ones) without any reflow, but I don't mind fairly small text.
Reflow is touchy. About half of the PDFs I read (which tend to be freebies; when I purchase, PDF is not my format of choice), the "M" setting doesn't increase the font size much, but it does remove the whitespace and that helps a lot. For some of them, I need to read on "L" to get a decent font size, and it's often a bit larger than I like.
Some PDFs don't reflow; this tends to be heavily-formatted things with lots of charts, or, I believe, certain ebooks made in InDesign without consideration of conversion from PDF. And some books reflow, but either keep the original line returns (which makes them useless) or lose some paragraph breaks, esp. for short paragraphs like dialogue. Tagging them seems to help with this, but I'm not sure if that's available without Acrobat Pro.
For most books, the reflow works fine. And the ability to natively read PDFs--drag & drop, without going through an interface--has been wonderfully useful for me.
