I still can't find a completely satisfactory pdf reader for this device. Aldiko remains the best one out there - at least as far as my own needs go - but it still has no zoom function. ezPDF has improved a lot, but now the app puts buttons on the screen when you engage *horizontal scroll lock* and *tap for page turns.* (I suppose this is to show you those functions are engaged, but why exactly would you need to know that at all times?) There is a newer reader out there now - qPDf - and it would be perfect except for the fact that it doesn't have a full screen mode.

For what it's worth, here are the functions that should be standard on a pdf viewer for the NC:

- a full screen mode that eliminates the nook status bar at the bottom of the screen

- opens pdfs of scanned documents (Some of the paid apps won't do this!)

- tap for page turns

- page zooming [A function that automatically crops the left and right (and top and bottom) of a page would be nice as some documents have very large margins.]

- a zoom lock so you don't have to re-zoom after every page turn

Again, Aldiko meets all these requirements except for page zoom and zoom lock.
