The usual function of a double tap in Android apps is to zoom in, and I don't like the idea of including non-standard uses of gestures. That makes for an inconsistent user experience. UI inconsistency is a serious problem on the Android platform. (I also think it's bad for a developer make their own UI widgets instead of using the standard ones, unless the standard ones cannot possibly do the job, even if the new ones are much prettier.) Plus I like the idea of being able to zoom in on a particular point.

One possibility, however, would be if the fit-to-width button were to return to the previous zoom left if you tapped it again. I am not sure, though, how this would work in the case of a long-tap of fit-to-width (which does fit-to-page). Would a normal tap restore? But what if you want to move from fit-to-page to fit-to-width? Maybe then to restore from fit-to-page, you do another long-tap, and to restore from fit-to-width, you do another short-tap?
