For the Nook, it handles them fairly well - I have loaded a couple PDFs 
of Linux Format on it and it renders fairly well for full-page views, and 
then reflows the text if you enlarge the font in order to actually be 
able to read it.

I have run into a problem with some content-protected PDFs, but I'm not 
yet sure why - I think the one I tried was just print restricted (Nook 
doesn't have text-to-speech capabilities, which print restrictions can 
interfere with I've heard) but it wouldn't open it properly.
