Another unique feature is it tells you how long it will take to complete a chapter and, in an upcoming release, how long to complete a book. Ultimately it comes down to preference. For most people, $1.99 is practically free, so "commercial vs. free" isn't a significant factor.

Free is free, pay for isn't free. But I asked because you where touting a feature as a big deal -- when a free product pioneered it, you are piggy backing off of it, and it's been available for free for a long time.
I'm interested in what is more simple about your interface. I love Stanza's interface. Just a question as, unfortunately, there is no "try before you buy" on the app store.
I do think the speed reading features sound interesting. I think I'd have led off touting those
