This would be very convenient for complicated pdf with multiple columns etc where sometimes it is difficult to adjust because of the slow refresh rate of the e-ink.

In fact, interaction in the other direction would also be useful. For example having a button on the e-ink that would open the pdf on a pdf viewer on the LCD screen would be very useful. Specially if it can open the file at the right page number and zoom level. I would be an alternative to the camera button.
I think this is a perfect idea, or at the very least a way to set how fine the zoom and pan options on the eInk side are so even if you have to pan and zoom using the eInk you can have better control of how much it zooms and how far it pans per each click of the button for each. I think that would be an easy addition to the eReader settings screen.
