The jetBook with FW .35a and up gives you the nbest of both worlds for viewing PDF's on a small screen.
It now supports "Text Flow on/off" as well as active TOC if it exists. The "Text Flow on" feature is great if the PDF is designed for it.
The only difference from Ken's description is the loss of the 4 box and 9 box screen splitting - this function was removed.
When "Text Flow" is "Off" you can either select the desired level from a list under the settings option/Zoom Rate or step through the various zoom rates (increments from 100 % to 400% in steps of 50% and then fit to width before starting all over again. Once you are zoomed in you can use the arrow keys to pan the image.
This is good for reading column style scanned pages as found in magazines as you can zoom to the largest size that fills the screen with a column and then use the arrow keys to follow the flow. It is a pain for reading PDF,s where the text goes across the whole page in paragraph form. In this situation if "Text Flow on" doesn't work then it is back and forth panning to read line per line of text. We are talking scanned 8x10 or larger pages.
With this FW level you also get ADE DRM ePub/PDF support (confirmed by myself) and the .35g give additional B&N's ePub DRM support (not confirmed by me).
