If you're going to be overhauling the pdf viewer, I'd like to see a thumbnail view page selector. I.e., display a 4x4 grid of page thumbnails with scribbles, and allow the user to tap one to go to that page. Page bar to view the next set of thumbs (which could probably be generated in the background while the user is scanning the first screen). This would allow quick navigation to places where we've made notes, as well as other easily recognizable pages. Often we can recognize pages by the general shape of the text, as well, so if we're looking for a page with a particular illustration or a long passage of dialog, we'd be able to get there more quickly. Page turning on the iLiad is a bit slow due in part to the e ink refresh rate -- I'm thinking this would help take the place of quickly fanning through a book or notebook to find a particular page.
