The same goes for panning - no visual cue as to how much you are moving, but with a little practice, I can overcome that.
click on a point of the page, drag it to the place you want it, and thats where it will end up. Just like putting your finger on a piece of paper und moving the paper with the finger.

However, there's no visual cue for how much of the real page you are seeing - something may be off the top/bottom of the zoomed page, but you would have no idea that it's there.
True.

For reading eBooks zoom and pan is useless.
Not for me. the zoom gets remembered, so i can use the zoom, to remove unwanted margins and then flip through the book.

For half page reading in landscape mode, there would have to be some special mode, so you can use the flipbar to move through the pages

I did notice that the pages are rendering faster. So that's nice.
Yap, the are quite a bit faster.

I also notice that I have 2 black lines that run down the sides of the screen that weren't there before the upgrade. The true page size maybe? If so, I can make my eBook margins a little larger. 8-)
They show the page border. It would be good if they would not show in full page mode.
