I love the new sofware and I am sure IREX can still improve it.

I guess there are 3 possible moves that are not active now in the PAN mode. long push left, long push right and click on the bar. There are several possibilities.

1) by zooming to the 50% of the paper, there is no problem, with push right, you you go the end of the page and with click down or long push you can go to next page. Or cont. reading option would be nice too.
2) by zooming to the 25% of the paper, you can go down to the page but you will need to use stylus to go the top of the page to read the right hand side of the paper. My suggestion is that once you are at the end of the paper, with one more push you should be able to go to the top of the page to cont. reading for the other half of the paper. Again long push will take you to the next page regardles sof the position of the reading.
3) next page function should take you to the top of the next page. In the current firmware, you go to the bottom of the page.
4) When I re-open the document I does not recognize that I was using PAN option. I have to re-select it again.

I dont know how difficult it is to implement the flexible settings but may be all these functions should be defined/assigned by the user with a global settings.

I just downloaded papers form newsdirect and red them. The functions are great and the best reading exprerince ever. But I can only read the newspapers which have interactive menus. Others can not be displayed in the document. I am sure I can read the newspapers with the zoom fucntion even though they do not support interactive (+) layout.

My other concerns are:
1) Taking notes are not natural
2) Highliging pdf documents is a must for me. Underlying is not effective with the current hardware.
3) New icons on the bottom toolbar is a must: Pen, Ereaser, PAN and Zoom. of course current ones should be kept.
4)...

Thanks IREX
