This regards a "new" firmware update request. Quoting myself with reference to
ancient ereading devices with some great features, specifically REB 1200 and EBW 1150:

That's not bad software at all.
Instant ebook switching doesn't even work on the most modern ereader devices.
Comparative reading of several different ebooks with instantaneous switching was(is) just so cool. You can't get it anymore. Shame.
If I were to a ask Kobo, Sony, Amazon dev etc. to implement such flexibility in one of their NEW devices(running GHz processors) they'd just shake their empty little heads and say: BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

But actually it ain't impossible. One touch to the book list, one touch the next book you want to read. Or just one touch to the switch that toggles the most recent two ebooks you were reading. Switching is exactly instantaneous.
AFAIK the software was made by a firm called ETI, which has recently been acquired by Google. So the code exists, why not just try to licence THAT? Or do your OWN programming(nah).
Yah, I know, that's just not a contemporary way of doing things.
It would neatly solve the:
- searching
- bookmarking
- highlighting
- annotation
deficits of the current software.
