Would anyone who has purchased a nook elaborate a bit on PDF capabilities? I’m having trouble finding detailed information in a central place and want to get a feel for what PDF’s in my library I will actually be able to read, which will probably come down to how well nook's reflow works.

1. Easy tagged novels like the one's here, how's the display? http://www.planetpdf.com/free_pdf_ebooks.asp

2. How about slightly more graphic intensive docs, like non-fiction or computer books with the occasional graph, picture or text insert?

3. Really tough PDF’s, double column graphic and formatting intensive ones.

4. Non-European language PDF’s, like this Japanese PDF: http://www.mhcs.health.nsw.gov.au/publication_pdfs/6970/DOH-6970-JPN.pdf

5. Large file size PDF’s, 10MB or more. Does the device work normally or is there considerable lag when opening and viewing files?

I've listed these PDF's because they are free and public, if you have your own files feel free to describe them instead, thanks.
