On Opus, PDFs are zoomed, only ePUBs are reflowed.
I asked bookeen about re-flow. Answer was in the line of: we tried it, but it still don't work as well as we want it to.
"disastrous" is not the word I would have used, but there is room for improvement, and pdf is definitively where i want to see bookeen concentrate their effort. I never expected a 5" or 6" to be suitable to read A4 pdf though. Pdf is a crap format for e-books. It's not it's purpose.

Still, i realise that with folders + picture viewer, reading scantrads worked ok. Though i woudn't find a few change on the pic viewer.
