I'm still trying to find the perfect reader for me... this is a really pretty reader, but I have a few questions. I apologize if this has already been asked.

1. Is there an option for a "home library page" gui like in Aldiko or Moon+? I know the shelf with covers isn't for everyone, but I like it quite a bit. I'm a much more "visual" person and it's easier for me to browse my library by picture than by title, and I do like the 3-covers-per-row gui that Aldiko/Moon+ has.

2. Is there a way to fine tune a highlighted selection like in Moon+? I really like how that app has the "highlight sliders" that you can move as needed to make the selection shorter/longer. With the "one shot" highlighting, it often takes me 4-5 tries to get my highlighting selection precisely where I want it.

3. Is there persistent highlighting, as in actual color laid over the text? Moon+ does this and I do like it a lot.

4. Is there a way to set "long press" on the screen to be text selection / highlighting, like in Moon+? Having to do a short press to bring up the menu, and then select "text selection" seems unnatural to me. The double press for selection option would be alright, but it only seems to select one word, and there's no highlighting sliders, so.......

5. Is there Calibre2opds support for accessing an HTML or XML file online and browsing one's library catalog (Aldiko, Moon+, Stanza)? This is what I'm using: http://www.anamardoll.com/2011/03/er...-in-cloud.html

I really like the look of this reader and the "reading experience" it offers. If it had a shelf gui, catalog support, and stronger highlighting options, this would be PERFECT for me.
