Even a simple "open previous book" would be useful; people would be able to switch back and forth between two books, rather than re-navigate to their main reading in order to try a sample of something new.
Kindles do this.

At least the K2 and K3s allow you to sort by: Most Recent First, Title, Author, or Collections.
