I often use the 2-side-for-a-face printing format for pratical reason at work. The fact is very few documents and books are full A4 paper and with some adjustment it often print nice in a booklet

However I don't know your tastes I can read pretty well Hacker In The Box Magazine after I crop some margins (because, saddly JBC doesn't have zoom box)

In my experience:
  1. taking hand-writing note is possible when you have some white space (for eg. margins). With JBC you can also take note in very thiny area if you zoom enough into it. I remember some reader doesn't handle this very well, but JBC does
  2. Underlineing texts is not pratical in very few cases: often the text is big enough

Yeap! as I said texts are not so little

Reflow is sometime a good feature. But, if it is possible, I prefer to load on JBC an optimized file and is more easy to adjust a book for a 9.7" rather than for a 6".
