I would like to second (part of) a request made by Rockin in 2011:
Since 99% of the time I move forward in a book I would like to simplify that process for someone like me that holds it with either hand and actually switches frequently. I think the new feature for customized tap regions is an improvement but it didn't go far enough. I would like to see horizontal region options along with the vertical regions they have. Myself, I would like the top 1/3 for going backwards, the bottom 2/3 for going forward, the menu stuck in the bottom middle of the 2/3 section like it currently is for the two new vertical options.
I simply copied his text as it covers my need perfectly.
Another request would be to have a "Reading Now" button/link on the Home page for those cases when loading 5 books or more pushes the "Reading Now" book off that screen.
I know that I can go to "Library" then sort by Last Read but a button on the Home page would be a lot more convenient.
Finally (for now) the time display at the top of the screen when pressing the page numbers (while in reading mode) is great but it disappears in 1 second to be replaced by the "xx%" label.
Could the time either be displayed permanently or maybe left on for 3-4 seconds?
I realise that in more than a second the minute could have changed and thus the display may be inaccurate but I don't think anyone would mind if the label (un-refreshed) is a few seconds late.
