Big design flaw in the new firmware beta 2.0

hi guys at Irex, I want let you consider one thing about the new firmware..

1) to read a book without having to keep the pen in hand is obviously way more comfortable

2)when you zoom, with selection zoom, a pdf document you are than forced to use the panning mode with the pen to read all the page, cause the flip bar on the left simply allow to change the page to the next page in the same place previously showed when you are in "selection zoom" mode; instead when you are in panning mode (that you need to go to view all the page) the flip bar simply move the zoomed viewable area up and down so you again are forced to use the pen again to change this time the page and go to the next page using the arrows at the bottom.

3) so in any case when you read a zoomed pdf (maybe even the other formats, I didn't try yet) you are forced to keep the pen in your hand and continuously using it in order simply to read.

4) a simple solution would be to let the left flip bar to act when the page is zoomed at first like in panning mode, letting all the portions of the page show, and after, when the last portion is reached and the bar pressed again, like in selection zoom mode letting change the page and go to the next page..


let me know what you think about it..
