that is simply not true. They do Reflow and in fact they can Reflow pictures within a text PDF with the text so that you get a bit of text then the pic, then more text etc

here are some screen grabs of apdf I am reading.

First is the pdf as it opened on the 902 with a little zoom. Second,third and 4th pics are of the pdf reflowed. you can see its not perfect for some of the formulas buts its doen quite well considering and as you can see the pictures from the pdf have flowed with the text. NO OTHER COMPANY does this.

The last is column view. Its really ingenious for this type of multi column PDF. It chops each page into segments and then zooms those segments to readable size and as you click through it reads down the first column then to the top of second then to next page. There is even a little box diagram in the lower left corner that lets you keep track of where you are AND it never cuts in the middle of a line. They even have that dotted indicator so when you move down the page you can easily find where you left off.

Column zoom works well on the 360 too. I use to use it when reading a space opera
magazine "raygun revival"

For the most part it works much better than zoom and pan.

Agreed. My research tells me that Pocketbook does have the best PDF support except one thing : no text darkening function...

I also wish it had a word log...Guess nothing is perfect...Don't know why PB doesn't develop these functions in their new firmwares.....
