The 'eliminate white margins' option is preserved at page turns, but is lost once you add an annotation.

I still cannot believe that Sony produced a $400 dedicated e-book reader which does not keep the zoom level after you turn a page!?

I must say the hardware is great, I like the design, screen quality and battery life.

But in my opinion the firmware is a little annoying and prevents a true paper-like experience. Why not preserve basic layout options such as zoom & margin? Why flash the whole screen when the toolbar pops up (instead of flashing only the area under the toolbar)? Why do I have to tap 3 buttons (and go through FOUR screen refreshes) to go 'back' a hyperlink jump??

I am pretty sure most people will only read e-book formatted documents and periodicals and will not be affected by the issues I am highlighting here. But I find it very frustrating that only TINY changes in the firmware would have made this a great PDF reading/annotating device.
