So there is one feature no PDF reader has that I would love to see. I call it the "Layout View" for reflow.

See for the majority of the reading reflow works great. However when reading non fiction books with tables, charts, sidebars, etc. reflow fails. Sometimes it fails so much that it completely omits the tables, charts,sidebars, etc.... What I then do to make sure I don't fail to see them is to enable the default view on every page turn, then revert back to reflow. This is very disruptive to reading PDF since it takes a while to toggle between PDF view and re-flow.

What I would love to see on every page turn is a small thumbnail view say about 1/8th the size of a page will appear at the bottom right corner of the screen show for about 5sec then fade away.
Some additional features that would make this even better.
  • Touching the Layout view would switch the mode back to PDF view mode.
  • Ability to pick a corner for the "Layout View" to pop up.
  • Ability to turn on/off the "Layout view"
  • Ability to change size of "Layout view"
