If I use the four-way navigation stick to got down, it only goes down about 2 or 3 lines, it would take about 20 clicks to get the reader to display the bottom half of the page, then I press the next page button, instead of displaying the top half of the next page, the reader display the same section of the previous page, which is the bottom, so now I have to 20 click back to the top and then 20 clicks back to the bottom and the process repeats.

Is there a better way to read photocopied PDF more effectively in landscape mode? A button click for the reader to go top>bottom>top next page>bottom>top next page ....
I had the same issue with non-scanned books from Safari. The solution is:

a) get and install the 1.7 version firmware from here
b) go to 'Settings' -> 'Preferred Applications', tick 'try new Pdf Reader (beta)' and hit OK
c) now when you open a document in the landscape mode with 'zoom to width' setting on you will get the functionality you want with both the joystick and the stylus.

I don't know what other differences between the old and the new pdf reader are as I've just started playing with the device, they seem pretty similar at the first glance.
