I don't know what software is used on eReaders, but Adobe Reader on the desktop supports reflow when you zoom in: press Crtl+4 (or go to View -> Zoom -> Reflow in the menus). To zoom in, simply press Crtl++ (like in many current browsers). Note that this requires "tagged PDF". LibreOffice can output tagged PDF when you check that option in the PDF Options dialog that is displayed when you choose "Export as PDF...". Adobe Reader has more accessibility options under Edit > Preferences > Accessibility; for example: "Always use Zoom Setting", and "Replace Document Colors" (which allows users to override the colours defined by the author). So when you use properly tagged PDF, is is probably not the format itself that is at fault but the reader (=software).
