"And it is a small english PDF and the pages that I am in, don't have any grafics."

I find slow speeds on reflow are unpredictable. I downloaded a travel guide the other day, obviously with masses of graphics, and a 25mb size, and page turns weren't a problem whatsoever. I wonder whether it's something to do with the pdf formatting being complicated, like having 'new line' markers at the end of each line in A4/letter, rather than distinct paragraphs.

The thing I find frustrating is how the crop function in the pdf reader has been limited. The most standard situation is a one-column pdf with large margins, and you want to be able to read it in landscape mode, with the text tightly cropped, and the ability to use swiping/page turn buttons as 'page up/down'. Manual cropping mode would be perfect for this, but it has an apparently entirely arbitrary zoom limit. So you have to cut out the margins on the pdf using a computer, and use the 'fit width' mode. Just a completely unnecessary hassle. Fingers crossed the hack will sort this out.
