-In Stanza there was a tiny pie chart next to each book in the main library that was blank for unread books and became progressively shaded in as you progressed through the book. When you finished the book the pie chart was replaced by a check mark. Basically you could track your progress without having to go into each individual book. It was a handy feature I'd like to see incorporated into Bluefire.
-Ability to group books alphabetically, by author, ect.

Otherwise nice little app, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the compliment, and for the feature suggestions. We just implemented swipe up/down for brightness, but I'm concerned that it is too easy to accidentally do, (I did it myself a few times and had to stop and think that it was a new feature) and users would get confused as to why their screen just went dark if they did not already know that was a feature. I think we need to find similar "quick and easy" way to adjust that on the fly, but with some kind of UI element to activate it. I could have just punted and made it an off/off setting, but I'm trying to avoid a bunch of toggles. We'll add lots of features moving forward, and I don't want a long list of on/offs. I've a few good ideas for the quick brightness control, but for now, probably won't make it into the very next update.
