While it's true that some readers (like FBreader) actually let you set the number of lines-to-overlap value on page feed, there is NO WAY it should be doing this without a specific user setting telling it to, as most PDF and EPUB readers default to ZERO lines overlap, and manage to hold onto this value for BOTH portrait AND landscape orientations.

Honestly, I can't think of any valid excuse why it should work the way it does, and the fact that this is a long time bug in the Sony products just makes it worse, not better.
I wasn't trying to criticize you, I was simply trying to point out that I don't think it's a bug, in the sense that it was unintentional on Sony's part - I think that that feature was intentionally added by Sony. It has bothered me at times, too, and I have seen many people complain about it. I have had PDF lines overlap, however, and I figured that this was the reason for them keeping the overlap.
