First of all, I want to say that I'm really enjoying the 1.9.6 fw.
I have seen some interesting suggestions in this thread, but quite a few of them ask for features that go beyond what a simple eReader should provide. I would caution the developers to keep it simple - Just make it the best eReader they possibly can!
So, with that out of the way, here are some areas I see that could be improved:
1. Sometimes my KT stutters on page turns. I will tap the screen and nothing will happen, no matter how long I wait, until I tap it again. It then turns the page twice so that I have to flip back to continue where I left off. 1.9.6 seems to do this less often, and I cannot confirm that this happens in the kepubs, I've mostly been reading my sideloaded books.
2. Support for multi-level TOC's would be nice, although the only time I've noticed the lack was when I tried to load Bibles on the KT (Including the HCSB version you can get free from Kobo). Scrolling through page after page of numbers is cumbersome.
3. Listing books by title, author, and 'recent reads' is a good start. Could we get a few more options like genre, length, etc.?
4. Options for first line indent.
There's more, but I think most of it's been covered before. BTW, I kinda like the current sleep and power off screens (except for the ghosting in the latter) but since people seem determined to change them, how about an option to sleep with the text from the last page left up? The space for the menu bar could be used to notify that the device is in 'sleep' mode. This way you can easily leave it on a page with a recipe while cooking or something.
Oh yeah, text search would also be nice. . .
