The horrendous amount of real estate that these blasted pods take up is just mind-boggling and it appears to be all or nothing. Either the pod has to be open all the way or you can iconize the view, neither of which is a feasible solution. The interface I would like, as antiquated as it might be

I think the new interface is awesome. Much easier to use. Much faster. Much more intuitive. I'm not having any of the problems you describe. I run dual screens. Now, I can have all my pods, lists, etcetera in the right screen, and have the whole book and doc displayed in my center screen. I'd

Bernard, Thanks. Your statement: Note that at times you will apply one (like your own) and then still have to go and reset it as well. If I figure out the logic behind when and why I'll let people know. is right on the money. I get them set and then boom, after a few times, it all goes away
