I'm not knocking the Augen. Most small, portable e-readers do a less than stellar job with pdfs. In trying to retain graphic design elements for a trade paperback with a diagonal measurement of 12", ebook versions just shrink the pages to fit a smaller screen, often rendering the text to an unreadable size in the process.

Using the "fit to" height, width, or page options reminds me of the part of the eye exam where the optometrist keeps asking, "Which looks better, ONE (flip the lens), or TWO?", and the eye chart looks about the same either way.
