ignore this, just skip to the example if you want to try

Here are two examples:

1) for this one, open the doc, switch to landscape, use autocrop and zoom to width
http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7023.pdf

You need to press Next twice to go from page 1 to 2

1) for this one use the same settings as for the first one:
http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/s...tex/Errata.pdf

You will need to press the same button three times to get from page 1 to 2

In orger to get from page 1 to page 2 in just two steps you will need to use zoom between two points and you have to be able to select exactly the top left corner of the doc and the right middle point as the two points for zooming in.
Otherwise you will have the same problem as above. The problem is that the pen can not touch exactly that top corner although the image is displayed in the area that you can not touch. In other words there is a small horizontal strip at the top of the screen that is active for the reader but it can never be touched/reached with the pen

I hope it is clearer this time. For the programmer it will be a piece of cake to get the size of the page and to zoom in exactly to the half of it.
It is, if you want to call it so, a page size dependent zoom between two points: the top left corner and the middle right point

PS: the above happen no matter how loaded the page is with text.
Go to page settings and try to set "custom margins" value to 40 and zoom level to 200%.
Or without changing of margins just set the zoom level to 190% (Menu Reading ->Customize Zoom)

But this particular two column PDF doc I would prefer to read in portrait mode (just try multi column automatic). You would need just one button to move the viewport and to read each column from top to bottom.
