Huh ?

Did you get a authoritative statement that EPub with embedded fonts can't do 
it ?


Also, PDFs can have an reflowable mode which theoretically can deal with the 
variable size screen problem.

I have never seen a PDF document where that was actually available (not 
greyed out on the menu) though.

To accommodate readers with limited desktop space, you can provide them with 
Adobe PDF documents that can be reflowed into any sized Adobe® Acrobat® 
window. In a reflowed document, text remains at its original size even when 
the window size changes, so that it's easier to view.

vast majority of PDF files have a fixed layout, but occasionally some PDFs 
can contain extensions to make them reflowable.

I Googled [reflowable pdf creator] but most references were for converting 
/from/ PDF
