Advanced functionality can be something that needs to be learned, but a user should be able to easily and intuitively load, display, and navigate any format officially supported by the device since that is the core purpose of an eReader.

I'm with you. for giggles just to see how it handled PDF's that aren't in book form, I downloaded my Droid X manual, It's actually really cool. Love the pinch to zoom, I don't understand why people get all up and arms with PDF's changing pages from north to south, I mean that's how we've been doing on computers forever, why this is causing people to have panic attacks is beyond me.
I do agree though about remembering the last page read, hopefully that will be part of the software upgrade, but besides that I think the pan and scan pinch to zoom etc. works really nice.
