Just a few things I noticed so far:

Positive:
- I've not seen any font or layout problems. With the Poppler-based render engine some layout elements didn't come out right. Wrongly spaced text, wrong fonts, ...
- Speed: page turns are noticeably faster

Negative:
- Contrast of the text is less than before. For me this is a major problem. E-ink isn't very contrast rich under medium lighting conditions as it is. The Adobe Mobile Reader engine perhaps uses a different kind of aliasing, I'm not sure. The result is poor visibility.
- Max. zoom level: the beta firmware's select to zoom magnifies far less than before.
