Reflow is extracting the text from the PDF and treating it like a web page, where increasing the font size rearranges the text on the screen. This is what the PRS-505 does with PDFs in its M and L font sizes. You can try this out on your Windows PC, see Sony's Windows ebook Reader, which includes links to photos of PDFs on a PRS-505. Note that Sony's PC software now emulates a PRS-700, with extra font sizes.

I would not recommend the Hanlin V3 for PDFs, but see Hi, Can someone take photo to show me some files displayed in V3,BEBook or Ez Reader for examples. Note that the next Hanlin V3 firmware will switch to mobile Adobe Digital Editions (like the PRS-505), so it will then also reflow PDFs.
