I think you should insert a fast forward- and a fast rewind button to make it easier to jump between chapters.

I'm aware that there's a content-button for jumping to a specific chapter. But if you just want to "scroll" through the chapters, not knowing which one your looking for, thats not a good alternative.

I also think there should be an option to jump to a specific page (That's what the empty white square in my picture representing).


Just recently I got an other idea, but it may seem a little stupid.

But wouldn't it be cool if it was possible to flip through pages by sound? Imagine laying down in bed with your iThing resting against a pillow and not even have to move a finger to flip to the next page - all you would have to do is make a small sound of any kind. (This would certainly make your app more handicap friendly as well.)

So Micah... What do you think?



This is a suggestion of what the app could look like with "chapter-flipping-buttons" and a square for inserting a certain page number:
The Fast forward is a good idea. I had that in earlier designs. The "go to page" is a must and has been on the list. And the sound thing is quite inventive. I'll ponder that. I think I myself might use that. Tricky to get it tuned just right though so that ambient sound does not page you around when you are trying to read.
