I think you (and they) may be overestimating their capacity a bit. Sadly, that's only encouraged by their PR and pricing. You may be right on the ball with two guys, and the coding is kludgy. But I do like the fact that they do update. Simply put, I don't have the energy to spend making the whole thing (Open Inkpot would be the starting point, but this device is irrationally locked down so would need a jailbreak first). Review has done a good job pointing out and implementing tweaks that GiK somehow missed. PB are showing a sad display of trying to cover a lot of ground with no resources and little structure; made all the worse because a few simple steps, like really publishing the sources and SDK, would let more skilled and energetic people like Review help that much more.
BTW, I am a programmer as well, and I have looked at adding selection zoom to pdfviewer; the code is just so unstructured that it's a bit hard. I got it changing sizes but the panning was screwy, and there was no function implemented for small or arbitrary pans. Which is precisely where the control scheme messes up, when there's no way to trim a top margin, nor shift left or right until very high zooms.
