I like the clarity of the fonts on this reader, but it seems to be missing several features that are showstoppers for me. I may be missing them since I just started looking at the trial yesterday. Here are my must have features:

* A way to always show the current page number and last page number (or percentage complete) all the time not just by popping up the menu. I'd also like to know how far into a chapter I am.
* I can't seem to get the fonts to change in small increments (maybe due to annoyance below about sluggish response)
* Paper-like background (CoolReader has a really nice one)

Some annoyances:
* When I try to tap to turn the page, many times the menu stuff comes up. I have had to use the volume buttons as a reliable way to change.
* It seems sluggish when doing menu selections. For example, when I bring up the font change icon, it takes about 5 seconds to respond to anything. I thought it wasn't taking my input so I hit the larger font several times and it finally made a giant font.
* Putting in a bookmark is difficult as it doesn't respond right away. I end up changing the page instead of placing a bookmark.

I am on Nook manualnooter.
