I think what the stock firmware really needs is a 'crop' mode which is the current zoom area behavior with no pan (e.g. set the viewable window for the page, flip bar changes pages but doesn't change the position of the viewable window) plus a 'zoom' mode which encompasses fit width/fit height/fit visible/pan and has the behavior that the flip bar advances a screen up/down like people have been requesting.
With pdf ebooks the current crop is the behavior which makes sense, and the irex team seems to see pdf as for ebooks first and foremost on the 800. The PDF is already large enough to be read, you just want rid of the large margins. I would be sad to see this feature completely disappear.
For 8.5x11 or A4 pdfs there may be margin issues as well, but you also often need to rotate and a page at a time to have it be legible, so you need a true zoom not just a crop...
