Hi,

My input (some already has been mentioned):
1. Goto page (for pdf as well)
2. PDF viewing (I magnify the display)
a) Custom magnification (e.g.: 28%) instead of pre-sets at 100% 125% etc.
b) Continuous page scroll down mode (now I have to do 2 clicks. 2nd click just scrolls to the bottom of current page - sometimes repeating 90% of 1st half of the page)
c) Continuous left-right scrolling, instead of page jump to the edge
3. Manual add for a non-broadcasting wireless access point. Many people turn-off the ssid broadcasting for security reasons.

I have many pdf documents that are "scans" of rare/historical books. Not sure if pdf full reflow function would help. However, if we can have the items in bullet 2) above, then it also solves some (if not most) of the pfd reflow viewing problem. Hopefully, items in bullet 2 would be easier to implement than a full reflow, and thus can be a "quick hit" for readers. Really hope to see them in the next firmware update (i have the wifi).

Thanks
