I made a small mock-up content navigation app in Python for the iLiad, and zoom was the first thing I made. :-) It would be absolutely brilliant, as it would cover many different user demands in an easy-to-use fashion.

If iLiad open the source code to the content lister (I'lve been nagging about that for about a year now I guess), and the community would very likely make loads of progress in no time. I mean, Zoom is required really, and gestures would be sweet (the eInk is VERY nice for gestures and VERY bad for software buttons). And the speed of the content lister is really bad, using a lot of time to prepare a small page with info. It does of course have to open all the manifest files and parse the XML, even if they don't contain anything useful - and when no info is present, NO info is present. No "last read time", or page count or anything.
