Hi,

From my experience of using e-ink reader, the biggest problem is that it is difficult to navigate from one place to another easily.

For example, when I am reading a page and I need to refer back to another section, what you need to do is to enter the page number to go to there. But for most case, we do not know the exact page number but just the appropriate location. So we need to "guess" and try the page number for several times in order to go to the correct page.

So it should be better that have a function "Quick Scroll", this command show a scroll-bar-like item on the screen and we use the 5-way control to scroll to the page that we want to go. It is something like the one in iBook. And this should be possible even on e-ink device as it does not require fast refresh rate .
