You guys ROCK!
I love the new functionality of the PDF reader.

Since you considered our opinions here are a couple of more suggestions:

-the icons on the new tool bar are not very visible in landscape mode. Probably a change in colour for the background of the toolbar will solve the problem

-zoom to half page. This refers to the physical size of the page and allows you to read a page by just pressing twice the "Next page (up/down)" button.

This will make your workflow very smooth. currently in order to get this fuctionality I do this.

1. On my PC I crop the document margins to the maximum possible.
2. Using the PDF measuring tools I measure the page and find out what is the middle of the vertical size of the newly cropped page.
3. I move the document on the e-reader and I use zoom between two points.

One of the points is the most of the left top reachable by pen point of the screen.
The other point is on the right side of the paper exactly at the middle point latitude measured at #2 above, the most to the right I can reach (point or press, if you want) with the pen

Caveats to this method: with a tight cropping the pen can not exactly reach the points you want. after a couple of attempts you find the ideal screen view size and you will be able to navigate the document, each page red in two steps.

Without tight cropping the unneeded white space chews up from your screen room and it also adds error when you try to find the exact two points you have to zoom to

Landscape mode is desired because it seems the best compromise between font size and a zoom where no scrolling left or right are needed.
