So, I decided to try this out again to compare against FBReader and Aldiko again. New comments!

1: You added dictionary support for ColorDict! This was another excellent feature of FBReader that was lacking. Thanks!

2: Being able to assign touch actions to the 3x3 grid is simply genius. I'm hooked on it.

3: Page breaks seem to be working much better now. I still have the occasional book that doesn't have a page-break before the chapter, but I'm sure that's just a CSS issue that I'll have to look into. Overall, I'm quite happy with the formatting.

3: Footnote/Endnote/Links: We're almost there. Links still ignore anchors, so they always go to the beginning of the html file. Most authors create a page per endnote, so in most cases it's okay. I have to use the "Back" function since the "return" link will always take me to either the beginning of the chapter or the beginning of the book. On a happier note, I really like that you follow links with a long-press. Aldiko and FBReader are frustrating if the link is on the margin, as it'll usually turn the page instead of follow the link. It's a toss-up between the two.

Really, the only remaining issue for me is following inline links. Get that fixed, and I'll happily switch and grab me a bronze or silver edition! A couple references here on inline footnotes/endnotes:
