Hi Mike,
I'm glad you are working on the "progress meter" and "F11", this will make life alot easier for users.
Another thing that might be worth looking at is having a button to toggle (hide/unhide) the TOC. The reason I mention this is that when using a mouse, clicking on the bar is pretty easy but trying to do this by touching the screen is next to impossible (especially if you have a capacitive touch-screen and have to use your finger instead of a stylus). I have to plug in a mouse every time I need to hide or show the TOC. This can get a bit frustrating at time.
Shame about the clock but it can be a useful feature, it certainly is a big gripe with Sony ereader users when they go from an older reader to one of the newers one as Sony have removed the clock. Alot of people add 3rd-party firmware just to get this back. I'm not sure about an addon as when FF is in full-screen, you wont see the clock. If you do implement an "F11" button then I suppose I could alway press it so I can see the system tray clock instead.

At the beginning, concentrating on the reading panel was a good idea because if that didn't work then this FF add-on would have been a bit of a waste. Now that the reading panel has matured, it might be worth reconsidering that decision. My plan is to use EPUBReader as my main reading program on my convertable PC, so having a means of organising my books other that just a straight list would be benificial.
I've only loaded about 100 books into EPUBReader so far and it is manageble, but if I loaded my entire collection then a straight list would not be easy to manage it (I've got a few thousand books in all).
Options to browse by tags or authors could help or some kind of virtual folder support could be useful.
