I would have added a two-column mode where each physical page is split into 4 screens, but Amazon's thinking is obviously that simple is better and that the screen is big enough to allow this.
I know. Some papers are two colums and it would be a great thing the reader could put the two columns one behind other, but AFAIK none e-reader does that. Not DR1000 and I remember iLiad had had a hack to do that but it never worked for me...
