Reflow on the Pocket Pro

Reflow on the Pocket Pro sucks. Is there a way to turn it off?

Here's a sample paragraph from a book by Jack Higgins called "In the Hour Before Midnight"

"I might have known who the other two would be.
Piet Jaeger, the South African, one of the few survivors of our ol
d company in the Katanga campaign, and the Legrande, the ex O.A.
S. man Burke had"

The paragraph continues on the next page.

There's also the problem of a page only taken up 1/4 of the ereader with the paragraph continuing on the next page of the eReader. Also there are situations where a sentence in a paragraph has only one word in the line with the paragraph continuing on the next line.

I own a Cybook Opus. I have none of these formatting errors. They use percentages (like Adobe Reader does) to increase the size of print. They do not have reflow.

These are two things that will improve the reading of PDF Books (DRM or not) on the pocket pro. As it stands my reading of PDF ebooks will have to be done with the Cybook Opus.
