If the pdf file is a scanned copy of a book, then you're out of luck. In that case, either you need to do some extreme cropping (to delete out page numbers, header, footer, all possible whitespace etc) in something like briss, or you can try something like k2pdfopt (the results may not be to everyone's liking though) to try to extract text from the scan.
I'm hope the same should be possible on it smaller sibling, the T68.

I guess, after OCR-ing a scanned pdf (even as exact pdf image i.e. OCR layer in the background), any better e-reader there should be able to reflow it, but showing only reflowed OCR layer, not reflowed front image itself and pictures.
After OCR-ing we can also use highlighting, search, dictionary etc. so it's always good idea to do it.
If we've been reading scientific pdfs though and cannot allow a single OCR error, then we can reflow pdf image itself, using k2pdfopt, that not only reflows front image itself but our e-reader should also flip through such reflowed pdf faster (than using its own reflow mode or apps) and all the pictures and tables shall also stay there visible.
Since t68 is about 5.43" wide (13.8 cm) (1440 @ 265 dpi) in landscape, there is usually no need to use k2pdfopt's reflow mode for A5 books or those smaller than A4/letter size, but just its fitwidth mode in landscape instead (i.e. zoomed text without margins, 2-3 screens per page).
