Especially if they're unaware of the changes that are in the pipeline.

Well, I feel it's a matter of device security to keep things up to date so I try to always use the most current versions unless there are known bugs in it. Most of the time these will have bugfixes for older versions and also fixes to known security issues. So I don't feel this is a "surprising" thing to do.
In my case I did not expect the amount of trouble I experienced with the switch to 9.17, since an alternative to bookview was provided. I expected a little time to get used to it - little did I know
Seems I am too much of a casual user and I don't need too many of the more expert settings to know my way around at all.
The advantage book view had over just preview for me is that I find it much easier to proofread in book view and when I see a spelling error, I can correct it right away without having to look for the passage amongst a heap of code.
To me this is awesome and a huge advantage.
Or, for example: right now I am comparing two versions of a book, the end result should be the shorter version as an ebook. So I am reading hardcopy - ebook (where only the long version exists), comparing and pruning, sometimes changing whole paragraphs, rewriting some - much easier to do with book view, than in the code view, because its much easier to read AND I can make changes instantly.
I haven't had time yesterday to try out PageEdit, thanks again for the help though, and maybe this will turn out to be superior for my purposes, too.
