re-flowability is _not_ part of the Oxford definition.

I was not aware that the OED set the standard for the Engish language that we all must follow. Instead the OED tries to capture current usage. Common usage for the vast majority of ebook formats is to support reflow. PDF is an exception because it is difficult to reflow.
Even when we can all afford large screen devices there will still be a need to something more portable, and therefore reflow will still be a requirement. PDF just does not hack it.
