The Jetbook doesn't have reflow. The Jetbook and the JBL have pan and zoom, in addition to the Split Screen:9 option. I don't know what feature the Libre has for PDF besides reflow.

I don't know if a 70Mb PDF is going to work with the JBL (they might, I just have never done this). These PDFs are larger than comic books, which are around 20-30 Mb.

Using the pan and zoom feature on a e-ink display is going to severely reduce the battery life. Those readers are measured in page turns, and if you are using pan and zoom (or split 9) to read a PDF formatted for letter size, reading one PDF page might be 100 page turns. So this means after reading 80 PDF pages, you would need to recharge (assuming your device support 8000 page turns per charge). At least for reflective LCD, you don't have this issue.
