It's mind-boggling to me that the only way to navigate a PDF is linearly. There's no table of contents. You can't jump to a specific page number. If you click an embedded link to go further in the document there's no back button to get back to the previous location.
The only way to move around the PDF is to use a small 2-inch page dial to randomly jump but it's too inaccurate to select specific pages.
Also having no scrolling while zoomed in makes no sense.
Didn't the 1st gen model have these basic features?

I was wondering about the table of contents too. Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I'm curious for longer PDF files (eg textbooks).
I'd been contemplating splitting important large files into multiple PDFs or using the searchable star/asterix feature to mark chapters. Not the end of the world if they removed it, but an odd basic feature of PDF files to take away.
For shorter academic articles, the thumbnail view seems like a good option to navigate to specific pages.
