but why are you talking about 6" ? im only interested in iliad or DR which got more ^^
so all in all you have to zoom reading a4 on iliad or did i understand something wrong?
and i want to buy one of these devices, because i really dont want to invest so much time in converting
my last question now is: can you reflow pdf files or only zoom them or both? i think reflow is possible on each device with epub, mobi and so on

Sorry about the 6", bad multitasking.
A4 is shrunk to roughly 2/3 of its original size on iLiad. It depends on the original font size and your eyesight, whether it's readable without zoom or not.
A friend of mine has automated the process of conversion. He drops his files into his "outbox" folder. Via PDF print driver they are printed to A5. When connecting iLiad, the files are copied to the reader.
In "Spiegel" (German news magazine) for example I can read the headlines, but not the columns itself. Without zooming I can identify the areas of interest, but than I have to zoom.
You can rotate to landscape, which gives more width and needs less zooming as an alternative.
iLiad can't do ePUB, 1000S will be able after the announced firmware update.
I've read, on Foxit's eSlick
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ebook/ (which specialices on PDF) you can choose, whether to reflow or zoom PDFs.
On the units I own, you can't choose. The units solely do one or the other.
Cybook Opus for example does zoom, Sony 505 does reflow.
PDF files only can be zoomed on iLiad, no reflow.
