Hm, forget notes and highlights.

What about footnotes? Or a TOC? Or an Index at the end of a book?

Or how about using the dictionary?

Or how about Zoom, for PDFs with very wide margins (and no I don't want to look at only half the page, with the wide margins?)

It's not a PDF reader, it's an image viewer, and the old Kindles could do basically the same cra*ppy job, if you converted the pages into images, and split them.

Other than for very basic PDFs, without TOC, Index, Footnotes, or wide margins, the DX's PDF implementation is really unusable, and especially for something like textbooks.
