No offense intended, but don't you see a boundary problem in deciding how/where to automatically divide pages based on a variety of assorted layouts? I simply do not see this as a universally desirable solution say with three columns pages and a two part divide, etc. I suppose one could hope for intelligent code based on intervening white spaces, etc. but that's a lot more complicated than a user controlled zoom level.

The idea of allowing the user to pick the zoom level, lock it and either scroll or then jump to the next section based on the size the user picks makes much more sense to me. I agree the scrolling is a bit silly with e-ink, but depending on page layout and screen size it does offer the most user control.

Personally, I'd rather see someone work on the zoom, zoom lock, and landscape mode. Frankly, I'd like to see landscape as a feature in the regular readers available on Kobos. It would be especially helpful for maximizing text size on single column layout pages without having to scroll horizontally.
