And again: it is completely astonishing that they were not able to think of any reasons on their own why people would need zoom versus reflow. These are people in the business of producing products meant to replace paper. Did the whole concept of scientific papers and other diagram-intensive or format-sensitive papers that do not respond well (if at all) to PDF-reflow just never even occur to them? It's beyond astonishing, really, it's well into the realm of pathetic. Not providing PDF zoom on a 6" reader is one thing. I could even see not providing it on a large-size screen reader as just a boneheaded oversight in the first production run, but then to actually have to ask people why they would want PDF zoom as though they just couldn't fathom anyone needing such a thing is just plain stupid.
