Converting a pdf by extracting the text to a wordprocessing program works really good. I tried that before and it's great as long as there aren't pictures and graphs involved.
If a pdf font cannot be increased by the zoom (s, m, L, etc.), then usually the pdf is made of pictures. I've encountered that before. If it's a true pdf (just try in Acrobat reader): If you can highlight text then it's a real pdf, if you cannot then the pdf's pages are actually pictures which you can extract).

But actually, as the 600 provides zoom and pan, I didn't need to convert anything. Either if it's true pdf or not. If reflowing mixes up the text, just zoom to any level with the touch slider and then pan to where ever you want to read. Worked perfectly so far for me ;-)

Edit: Ok, sometimes I wished text would be rendered darker, but in that case, increasing zoom usually does the trick.
