However, I am reading a lot of PDFs (scientific papers, older literary texts from Google Books) that do not necessarily have a lot of graphs, but which do not support reflow, since they are essentially image-based PDFs, and whose text size is usually too small for reading at 100%.
I am certainly not going to buy a DR1000 (too big, too expensive), and don't like the Sony 700 (too small, screen contrast not perfect), but would order a DR800 right now, as in this very second, if there was PDF zoom and annotation.

Good point on Google books. We also seem to see more classic digitization efforts to preserve the look and feel of the regular text. If pdf is the preferred format for these efforts a good zoom function would be a requirement on any serious reader.
