Proposed page history feature

emellaich · 12-12-2011, 09:53 PM

On my older Kindles, and now on my KT I've had times where I lost my place in the book.Maybe I accidentally went to the next chapter or went to the beginning of the book.

It would be great if there was a page history (location history) that listed a matrix with the last 30 pages you had viewed. With the touch a gesture, such as a counter-clockwise circle could bring up the history listing. Then touch an entry to return to that page.

I have seen a few reading apps that have exactly the feature you describe. Unfortunately the one I'm thinking of is defunct. And it only showed history for the current book, whereas it would be better to capture other books as well to make it easier to jump between them.

Kindle at least has Back, but History would be better as it could incorporate context and let you jump forward as well as back, jumping over whatever you wanted to.
