Just wondering what are the benefits from opera 10 and default opera? I've seen a few people that don't like it but what are the actual differences, what's better and what's worse about it and overall is it worth switching to?
I think that Opera Mobile 10 has a better user interface and works faster and smoother than Opera 9.7. Opera 10 is more finger friendly: the drop down lists in Opera 10 are bigger and easier to operate than those in Opera 9.7, which are better used with a stylus. Opera 10 doesn't support pinch to zoom and there is only 1 level of zoom, which means you can't zoom in as much as you want like you can in Opera 9.7. In the past, I have had issues with Opera 10 on my HD2 where it would lock up the phone if I left it running the background.
You can launch both browsers from the Sense UI (assuming they are the default browser), but you can't add favourites in Opera 10 in Sense as far as I'm aware.
Overall, I personally think that Opera 10 is a better browser than 9.7. I don't lament the lack of pinch to zoom, but I do miss being able to zoom in as far as I can, which comes in very handy when viewing these forums on the phone! Because of that and the better integration with Sense, I still use Opera 9.7 as my main browser.

Add pinch to zoom using BsB tweeks....works fine for me.
It has a really nice UI . It's fast.
But you can't use the camera while opera 10 is running in the background , don't know why :/
Lack of pinch to zoom but can be added using bsb tweaks as said above.
How easy is it to read PDFs on the tablet where you're viewing it a full page at a time? (PDFs that are designed to be printed on A4 sized paper or technical book sized paper).
I've got a ton of ebooks, manuals and other such documents in PDF format. I would love to use the Tablet as a PDF reader but only if it can be comfortably read while viewing a whole page at a time. I don't want to be doing any zooming/panning around the page.
Just to clarify, this is when holding tablet in portrait mode. Also, assume the PDF pages are like that of a typical technical book.
Depends on the PDF no? One with large margins and tiny text won't be as legible as one with bigger text. But I find most PDFs look good in portrait mode.
I bought the GT 10.1 primarily for reading tech docs. It works very well for this purpose, but a few things to note:
An letter sized page is a bit small. But after zooming (Acrobat PDF, or QuickOffice) in to eliminate the margins, it is still smaller than normal, but only slightly.
An app that automatically cropped margins and allowed inverted image would be perfect. I have not found one yet.
Landscape mode is effectively same size (width) as letter. So 100% reproduction, but you do have to scroll.
mantano reader can crop. aldiko is cheap against that reader.
Yes, comfortably without zoom+pan
I use repligo reader for its excellent graphical page rendering, giving the clear text effect to scanned pages, even at full screen width view! Use expdf primarily for annotation but repligo for pure reading pleasure, even turning pages is faster in repligo, hence highly recommended.
repligo ist the fastest one but it lacks in formatting options.
I am happy with repligo's page rendering, it makes my over zoomed scanned pdf books more readable
Big fan of ezPDF, well worth the two bucks

the adobe reader android app has the "rescroll text" option which is very good at utilizing the whole screen and sizing the font and line changes accordingly.
So as we all know, that the iPhone Browser Safari offers a way smoother pinch to zoom and scrolling experience than the Android Browser (Especially on singlecore phones). So I head the only reason why the iPhone Browser is smoother is because it just takes a thumbnail instead of live rendering, so you actually only navigate on a thumbnail of the site untill you stop touching the screen.
I was just wondering if it's possible to change the Android Browser so it does the same thing, giving us a smoother experience?
Why hasn't anyone already done it?
Bump I guess
Well, are there any?
Browser and a pdf reader with would be nice.

I have a Nexus 7(3013) flashed with Ubuntu Touch.
In the PDF viewer I can expand documents to about 200% in portrait, a bit more ~250% in landscape mode.
I need to use the tablet primarily to zoom in and swipe around to view large PDF air carts and checklists with the tablet mounted on the control yoke.
Is there a file I can edit to allow more zoom % flexibility?
(can't do anything right now until I replace cracked LCD)
Should probably not be too hard to implement. You might want to talk to the developers of the document viewer app: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-docviewer-app
