Reading in landscape mode is ok, but if the text has 2 columns, you'll have to page down, and page up again to read the second column.
well "very smooth" is debatable and subjective. its done just as a page flip with Onyx for instance and for me its adequate. It very accurate too meaning in i put the pen on a spot in upper upper right and "pull" it to a spot on lower left thats where it goes, making it easy to know how far you "need" to pan .

Columns i feel should be read in Portrait with a column reading zoom mode. I cant believe nobody but PB has done this. If you have actually used it it makes pdf reading a breeze. the device cuts each page into top and bottom left and right and depending on font size and number of columns you might have a middle. the page buttons then move you through those sections. the sections are delineated with a fine dashed line that is not intrusive but helps direct your eye to where you left off reading. it really is brilliant, every ereader should adopt it. there is even a little indicator in the lower left corner that shows you where on the page you currently are looking
