Megareader, stanza and several others have been approved by the Apple store, and they all have the feature of adding custom catalogs. Please consider adding this feature, but if you do it, do it right and make it background downloads. Some of the others, (Megareader notably) only download one book at a time from a catalog. It should really be like Stanza, where multiple books download in the background while you continue to browse/read. Art |

Micah, thanks for "Collections." That is a big improvement to the app for anyone who has a fairly large number of books loaded.
Two small things, however: 1) In the "Library" list please let me know what collection(s) each book is in. I have quite a few manuals (camera, airplane, etc.) and there is no easy way AFIK for me to tell whether they are in the proper collection or in any collection at all. If I have 50+ books on my library list and have forgotten to put one of them into the appropriate collection it is as good as lost. 2) The "Collections" list is ordered according to when I added the collection, oldest to newest. This is not very helpful. I would like to put "Library" at the bottom and sort the rest of the list alphabetically but I can't figure out how to change the order. Please add this feature or let me know where it is hidden. Thanks again. Great app. |

stylesheet.css Code:
div.booksection { page-break-before: always; margin-top:0.5em; margin-bottom:0.5em; margin-left:0.5em; margin-right:0.5em; } div.section { margin-top:1.0em; margin-bottom:0.5em; } p { text-align:left; line-height:1.2em; text-indent:1em; margin-top:.1em; margin-bottom:.1em; } In the <head> section of each file one finds a reference: Code:

OK, we finally we able to get a new release on iTunes App Store. Version 1.9.1 went live today and includes the following enhancements.
1. Improved management of large libraries 2. Cleaner display of cover images 3. Improved text selection on iOS6 devices 4. “Back” button for easier navigation back from footnotes and other internal links 5. Fixed a bug that could cause the app to hang on jailbroken devices |

I'm still on iOS 5 on this iPad 3, but text selection is still a huge struggle. It has put me off using Bluefire Reader in the past, and today's update has not improved the issue. Selecting text is slow and jerky, and after I let go of the screen, the selection marker is typically in some other place than I wanted it to be and than what was indicated by the zoom view.

Not here, no matter what book I try. Seems to be better on the iPhone and worse on the iPad.
