Pdf is meant to have FIXED content on one page. That why you like pdf so much. Reflow goes against everything pdf is meant for, as such, i'm not sure it would really work all right
.
And yet I'm given to understand by reports from other mobileread members that it does. Unless you have experience/reports otherwise... your musing is no evidence to the contrary.
It seams that pdf need to be tagged for reflow right ? What if the pdf you want to read isn't tagged or badly tagged ?

While i agree e-book needs better formating, pdf is NOT a solution.

E-books can have advantage paper book don't have (changing font size according to your liking), why not use it ?
Nobody said not to. But there's no need for the advantages to come at a crippling expense.
And reflow if only one of the annoyances with pdf. I like to be able to convert my books into something else, or edit it. I call not being able to do so a crippling expense.

I'd guess it was rather to co-opt the ePub fanboys into a format they can like... Adobe Digital Editions... so that when the switch is made to PDF in the future, it will hurt them less.
I like ePub, I hate ADE. It's laggy, don't understand css perfectly, add some useless drm, no linux support and the list goes on... I only deal with it to download and un-drm. I long for the day publishers will drop drm and we can have it our way.
