A few days ago I installed the new firmware, mostly to get the display of filenames instead of titles, which works fine and is a big help for me. I read mostly PDF files, of which many have nonsense titles such as "Microsoft Word Template". Filenames are easy to change, titles in PDF metadata much less so, so I really appreciate being able to show filenames.
I tried the new "beta" PDF reader as well, but quickly reverted to the standard one. There are some good ideas in the new one, but it's not usable in its current state for me. The idea of different modes for different types of document looks good in principle, but it takes more modes to cover all common use cases.
One of my major use cases is reading books available as PDF versions of the original print copies. In most cases, choosing "hide margins" in the standard PDF reader results in a near-perfect reading experience. I didn't find an equivalent in the new reader.
The new column-based mode would be very welcome if it were usable. As others have remarked, what I want to see is a column of text, not a quarter of a page of which most content is the margin.
