My only other gripe is the bookmark feature, why does it need two clicks? Surely just one to put a bookmark in, and one to take it out?
Thanks for the usability report.

That's an interesting comment about sensitivity - I've never heard that problem before and I read every user email we get (maybe 10 or so a day from the 400K+ users). We use standard iOS swipe events, and I'm not sure how we could make it "more" sensitive. I personally tap on the right side for page turn, and when holding with my left hand I do a tiny swipe-left gesture in the bottom left hand corner with my thumb to page turn, and I never notice any kind of problem with the device "registering" the gesture. I read several dozen books on each: iPad, iPhone, Ipod Touch.

I am looking forward to having adding features that allow users to configure tap zones.

Question: Which device and OS are you using? And are your reading PDF or EPUB docs? I'll try to reproduce the issue you are describing if I can to troubleshoot.
