I don't want this thread to cause any attack on IREX developers. The biggest challenge for them is the converging from the original dr1000s code base and sharing the code base with dr800s. Given the time frame they have to deliver for both devices, I will say the developers have done a pretty good job. And don't forget how they are actively involved in the discussion on this forum.
Another point I would like to make is the difference between feature/unfeature and bugs. Features or no features are defined by marketing and management, bugs are caused by developers and testers. I completely understand the bugs in the firmware releases, especially these are not official releases. However, the "disabling of certain feature between similar products" is a common strategy from most companies to differentiate products, and it is a fine line to walk.
For this particular case, it is as simple as a manager/marketing decision, no developers should ever be involved. @Jumpn Jack Flash, this feature should not have any dependency on the screen size. If it does, then it is a super stupid software design. Does resizing the window size on any desktop PDF software affects the continuous mode?
Anyway, this is not as bad as cutting the pdf contents on the right and bottom, it just makes reading PDF files in landscape mode inconvenient. The most annoying thing is the marketing/management decision to disable this feature in dr800 to differentiate with dr1000.
