Technical and Business PDFs where re-flow loses crucial formatting. Think tables and equations and the like. It's not a capability that's absolutely crucial for me, but it would help to justify the $150 increase in price over the alternative readers that you compete with (in terms of my preferences and budget).

Without that capability, I'm really reaching to justify the extra cost (and physical size, which is a problem). And if it also had a flexible back-plane for the screen to reduce the likelihood of breakage—at the same price, of course—I'd be pre-ordering without worrying about justifying the added cost. But such screens are made of unobtanium at the moment, so...
