I'm having a serious issue with PDF scaling.

PDFs of book pages read best when they're set to "M" scaling because this setting basically zooms to the text width (as opposed to the page width). The problem is that when the margins change, the scaling reverts back to page width. Most books have different margins for left-hand and right-hand pages, to accommodate for the spine, so the scaling gets lost after a single page turn. The result is that I have to hit the scale button twice after every page turn to revert back to small scaling, then rescale at medium scaling. It's a real PITA.

Does anyone know a way around this? It's potentially a deal killer.
