I like the panning with the stylus in the body area of the web browser,
though.

I like the "-" and "+" buttons for page up/down and the click-to-go gauge
of FBReader in rotated (portrait) mode very much for reading books.

Like the bar in FBReader? It has a gauge ("progress" bar) like:
[#######        ] showing the current position
and if you click for example here:
[#######        ]
              ^ here
it will scroll to that position and 
[############## ]

That's nice for wide area scrolls (like, finding a chapter). For small
area scrolls, the "+" and "-" buttons are very fitting (I take it that
they originally meant "zoom", but in portrait mode they are just too
comfortable for scrolling :)).

cheers,
  Danny
