Essentially the bug is as the title says. I'll be reading a PDF and an action I take causes it to exit back to the Home screen. How can I get around this bug? Is there something I can do during the PDF creation that will get around this problem?

******************

1. This is for the 902, firmware version 2.0.6 (I am hesitant to test out 2.1.0 Beta 2 that's been posted on Russian forums, so this problem may not exist after the update, but this is a "production" e-reader I use for school textbooks, so I can't just go upgrading to beta versions willy-nilly to find new bugs).

2. It occurs for multiple PDFs that I create using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.

3. All the PDFs are a scanned book image (JPG) that has been imported into Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, OCR scanned, and saved as a PDF. The problem does not appear to occur for non-image based PDFs.

4. This occurs for even a 1 page PDF, <500kB in size.

5. The problem occurs most often during two scenarios: (i) The e-reader is changed from portrait to landscape mode. (ii) Using the track-pad to scroll the page. The zoom function seems to work fine.
