Actually, since the zoom is only at fixed percentages, I haven't found it to be all that useful on K2 (Zoom Selection would be much more helpful). And, for me, panning is more awkward than simply using landscape mode for the added screen width.

A glaring omission is the continued lack of Table of Contents support for PDF. This makes PDF reference and study materials very difficult to navigate. Secondly, as you've already noted (pun intended), there's no annotation function, which relegates PDF usage to causal reading only.

Links and reflow would be welcome features, but I don't feel I can complain about their lack on the K2, where PDF is obviously an added bonus, not a main feature. However, I do think all of these features *should* have been included on the DX from the start. Without them, it doesn't really earn its classification as a multi-purpose Kindle-book and PDF reader (IMO).
