device: Pocketbook 902 pro
firmware: 2.1.2
software version: W902.2.1.2 20111215_172217

I upgraded to firmware 2.1.2 and am now having trouble reading pdf documents with both AdobeViewer and pdfviewer.

pdfviewer:
If zoom is set to "normal" or "column", and zoomed in so the screen doesn't cover the whole page, then pushing the down arrow causes the reader to cycle through two screens instead of just going to the next screen as it should. For instance, when reading a text book in landscape mode and zoomed in so small print is easy to see. If viewing the top of a page, the down arrow should take me to the bottom of that page. It doesn't, instead the bottom of that page flashes on for a instant, then the top of the next page is displayed. Makes the book unreadable.

AdobeViewer:
With previous firmware (I think I was running 2.0.6 but am not sure) reading textbooks with small print, equations, and diagrams was wonderful. I would zoom in to reduce the margins to as small as possible, and sometimes switch to landscape mode. Then when viewing the top of a page the top 2/3 or so would display, then hit the down arrow and the bottom 2/3 of the page would display. The middle 1/3 would display in both screens. Any equation or diagram cut in half in one screen would show up in full in the other.
Now with firmware 2.1.2, the top of a page displays the same as before. But when I hit the down arrow, only the part of the page that was off the screen before will display. No part of the page displays in both screens. This means that when viewing the top of a page, if there is an equation (or diagram) with only its top half displayed (at the bottom of the screen) , that when viewing the bottom part of that page, only the bottom half of the equation is displayed (at the top of the screen). The whole equation is never displayed. This makes the equation, and the book, unreadable.

The obvious solution to these problems is to reinstall firmware 2.0.6, which I will do if I can't find another solution. I really don't want to do that though, since I really love the multitasking and other improvements in 2.1.2. Does anyone know how to solve either of these problems?

Thanks.
