PDF is all about making the document appear the same for everyone.
TRhe problem is that most documents ARE NOT designed fora 600x800 e-reader screen, but something way larger, Standard copy paper.
All e-readers try tricks and "reflow" what they get to fit the screen.
Sometimes it is OK, other times there are definite artifacts. Some to the point of un-readability.
